ABSTRACT:
Each of the two hundred sixteen possible numerical combinations of three six-sided dice is visually differentiated, one from the other, by retaining the six differently numbered faces on a conventional first neutral die; coding each of the six differently numbered faces on a second die with separate figure symbols; and coding each of the six numbered faces on a third die with separate colors and five different numbers. One of the faces of the third die repeats the number on one of the other faces of that die. Rolling the set of three dice over an extended period of time will display each of the expected fifteen numerical sums, ranging in values from three through seventeen, in two-hundred-sixteen separate and visually differentiated combinations, each turning up with equal odds of 1 in 216. Development of this coding technique, to separate and expand the normally expected fifteen numerical sums to two-hundred-sixteen numerical scores, by visually differentiating each of two-hundred-sixteen possible combinations of three six-sided dice, rolled with equal odds, affords a simplified but practical application to create a variety of new dice related games incorporating game boards, playing cards or a combination thereof.
