Abstract
In one of the die structures provided herein, there includes first and second housing structures defined to secure to each other to form a plurality of sides. An internal wheel is provided with an aperture for receiving a peg extending from the first housing structure, such that the internal wheel is rotatably secured thereto. The internal wheel has a perimeter edge defined with spaced apart curved grooves positioned on the periphery thereof. A portion of the perimeter edge is accessible through the first housing structure. Lastly, there is a plurality of labels having indicia printed thereon and separately affixed to the plurality of sides. One of the plurality of labels is defined as an internal wheel label affixed to the internal wheel such that the indicia is visible through a window defined on the first housing structure.
