Common cubic Earth dice

For the cessation of life, please see death.

A die (plural: dice) was a small polyhedron used for generating a random number or other symbol. On Earth, the most common dice were cubes marked on each of their six faces with a different number of dots, ranging from one to six, and were typically used in playing games or gambling. In some cultures, blowing on the dice before rolling them was thought to bring good luck. (DS9: "Move Along Home"; TNG: "The Royale")
