Abstract:
A dice game apparatus comprising a first N1-faced numerical die, a second N1-faced numerical die, and a first N3-faced operator die, where(a) N1 is an even whole number selected from the group consisting of 8 and 10; (b) each of the N1 faces of the first numerical die is substantially circular; (c) each of the N1 faces of the first numerical die has substantially the same surface area; (d) the N1-faced first numerical die has N1/2 pairs of opposing faces, with each of the N1/2 pairs of opposing faces of the first numerical die lying in a pair of substantially parallel planes; (e) each face of the first numerical die bears a different first indicia of numerical value from 0 to N1, provided that if 0 appears on any face of the first numerical die, the highest indicia of numerical value on any face of the first numerical die is N1âˆ’1; (f) N2 is an even whole number selected from the group consisting of 8 and 10; (g) each of the N2 faces of the second numerical die is substantially circular; (h) each of the N2 faces of the second numerical die has substantially the same surface area; (i) the N2-faced second numerical die has N2/2 pairs of opposing faces, with each of the N2/2 pairs of opposing faces of the second numerical die lying in a pair of substantially parallel planes; (j) each face of the second numerical die bears a different second indicia of numerical value from 0 to N2, provided that if 0 appears on any face of the second numerical die, the highest indicia of numerical value on any face of the second numerical die is N2âˆ’1; (k) N3 is an even whole number selected from the group consisting of 8 and 10; (l) each of the N3 faces of the first operator die is substantially circular; (m) each of the N3 faces of the first operator die has substantially the same surface area; (n) the N3-faced first operator die has N3/2 pairs of opposing faces, with each of the N3/2 pairs of opposing faces of the first operator die lying in a pair of substantially parallel planes; (o) X1 faces of the first operator die bear a third indicia representing the mathematical operation of addition, with X1 being a whole number from 1 to 2/3N3; (p) Y1 faces of the first operator die bear a fourth indicia representing the mathematical operation of subtraction, with Y1 being a whole number from 1 to 2/3N3; (q) Z1 faces of the first operator die bear a fifth indicia representing a mathematical operation to be chosen by a player, the mathematical operation being selected from the group consisting of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, with Z1 being a whole number from 0 to N3/3; and (r) X1+Y1+Z1=N3.
