ABSTRACT:
A dice like device having a plurality of differently configured sides or surface characteristics each of which enable a corresponding distinctive resting position or placement on a table or other appropriate selected game surface. These surface characteristics are configured such that not all of the sides or ends of the dice device have the same probability of occurrence, i.e., facing upward, with the dice device being tossed onto a surface such as a flat game board. Each distinctive surface and/or rest position has associative significance with one or more features or symbolic meanings according to preferred game(s) rules. The dice device has attachment means provided to enable a key chain or the like to be detachably affixed thereto to facilitate mutual carrying about, easy location and identification and ornamentation of the attached key(s), and to provide a means of convenient portable entertainment.
