A regular polyhedron is a polyhedron all of whose faces are identical regular polygons, and all of whose vertices have the same number of faces around each vertex. There are only five regular convex polyhedrons&mdash;polyhedrons in which the all of the faces are on the outside of the polyhedron.<ref>As opposed to four "star polyhedra" in which the "faces" of the polyhedron slice into the polyhedron</ref>. They are:

Role-playing games often use dice in the shape of octohedra, dodecahedra, and icosahedra, as well as traditional cubical dice.

Role-playing games often use dice in the shape of tetrahedra, octahedra, dodecahedra, and icosahedra, as well as traditional cubical dice and nonregular decahedra.

Because the dodecahedron has twelve sides, decorative calendars are sometimes made in the shape of a dodecahedron, with one month printed on each face.
