Recast 2d6

A d3 and d12 that, when rolled together, produce the same results as two standard d6!

Many games involve rolling (casting) two six-sided dice together, "2d6" in gamer shorthand. There are 36 possibilities for the result: one each with a sum of 2 or 12 (two 1's or two 6's), two each for 3 or 11, three each for 4 or 10, four each for 5 and 9, five each for 6 and 8, and six for 7. There are also 36 possibilities for rolling a d3 with a d12. The d3 in our specially-designed pair is numbered 1, 2, and 3, but the d12 is numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8, and 9. The distribution of the results is identical to that of two standard d6. The Recast 2d6 pair is available in white and black.

The Dice Lab d3 and d5

Unique d3 and d5 dice with easy-to-read numbers!

We also offer our d3 by itself. This die can't land on the specially-angled end faces due to the location of its center of gravity. Our d3 dice are available in blue, red, green, white, black, and translucent amber. Our d5 is based on the same design concept and is the only mathematically-fair five-sided die on the market. Our d5 dice are available in black, white, purple, translucent amber, and Malachite (swirled green with gold numbers).
