Dice notation. Dice notation (also known as dice algebra, common dice notation, RPG dice notation, and several other titles) is a system to represent different combinations of dice in wargames and tabletop role-playing games using simple algebra -like notation such as d8+2.
The probability of dice combinations determine the odds of the payout. The following chart shows the dice combinations needed to roll each number. The two and twelve are the hardest to roll since only one combination of dice is possible. The game of craps is built around the dice roll of seven, since it is the most easily rolled dice combination.
Dice 10000. A game of Dice 1,000 in progress. A player has set the three "3" dice aside or ASIDE and has three left to reroll. Dice 10,000 (or 10000, 10,000 Dice, Ten Grand) also Greed, Dix Mille, Reload, 5-Dice is the name of a family dice game played with 6 dice; it is similar or identical to the commercialized Farkle.

After each throw, one or more scoring ...
2. 1. Crazy dice is a mathematical exercise in elementary combinatorics, involving a re-labeling of the faces of a pair of six-sided dice to reproduce the same frequency of sums as the standard labeling. The Sicherman dice are crazy dice that are re-labeled with only positive integers. (If the integers need not be positive, to get the same ...
A die (sg.: die or dice; pl.: dice) [1] is a small, throwable object with marked sides that can rest in multiple positions. Dice are used for generating random values, commonly as part of tabletop games, including dice games, board games, role-playing games, and games of chance.

Lowe in 1956. The game is a development of earlier dice games such as Poker Dice, Yacht and Generala. It is also similar to Yatzy, which is popular in ...
Stars and bars (combinatorics) In the context of combinatorial mathematics, stars and bars (also called "sticks and stones", [1] "balls and bars", [2] and "dots and dividers" [3]) is a graphical aid for deriving certain combinatorial theorems. It can be used to solve many simple counting problems, such as how many ways there are to put n ...
