A '''Die''' (plural "dice") is a polyhedra (usually cubical)  of ivory or plastic used for gambling, children's games or [[roleplaying game]]s such as [[Dungeons and Dragons]]. Each face of the cube has a number of dots(called "pips) or a number on it. For a cubical die, the numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. Dice are used to generate random numbers by dropping or throwing the dice on a surface and seeing which sides come up. Other examples include tetrahedral die (with 4 sides labeled 1 to 4) or a dodecahedral die (with sides labeled 1 to 20). Modern dice are made with precise machinery to make sure that the dice are not accidentally loaded.
