Well as long as they aren't loaded you can use whatever dice you want as long as they are all of the same kind and are easy to read from across the table.
Mixing dice that represent 1 with a symbol with dice that represent 6 with a symbol isn't the best of ideas.

If you use loaded dice I am gonna feed them to you along with some Tabasco sauce... That way you are gonna experience the same level of annoyance with the one I did while playing against you .

Actually the best dice for the job are casino dice. They look really nice they are easy to read and they are well balanced.

Aren't casino dice quite big? They're certainly expensive, even second hand.

No, you want a bucket of cheap dice small enough to grab them by the fistfull and clear enough that everyone knows what is going on.


Casino dice are called all the dice that are totally square with hard edges. You can find "casino" type dice that are in the same size as the chessex dice we now use.

What I understand is that casino dice are more balanced cause no material is removed from the edges. It is much easier to make a perfect cube than make cube with really curved edges.

I found the following bellow. They are 12mm which aren't bigger than chessex they are square and they are cheap. I think I am gonna buy 40 of them or something
