Abstract
A game die has a plurality of faces arrayed about a central vertical axis, each face displaying numerical or other indicia. These faces are tapered at an angle relative to said vertical axis, allowing the die to be thrown or spun and causing the die to roll about a central point once it ceases sliding across a surface. The die also defines an internal cavity for receiving a portion of a second die, thereby allowing stacking of the dice.
Claims7
A game die, adapted to be thrown or spun before coming to rest on a flat surface, comprising:
- a first end;
- a second end;
- and
- a plurality of planar quadrilateral faces, each of said faces adapted to display indicia and comprising:
- an upper base edge defining an upper length;
- a lower base edge defining a lower length, wherein said lower length is greater than said upper length;
- and
- first and second side edges;
- wherein said faces are arrayed about a central vertical axis and are joined along adjacent first and second side edges;
- wherein said faces are inclined at a taper angle relative to said vertical axis;
- wherein the upper base edges of said faces form a first polygon at said first end, and the lower base edges of said faces form a second polygon at said second end;
- and
- wherein said faces define an internal cavity open at said first and second ends.
