Six-sided die
also called d6, D6, cube die, six-sided dice
About
A standard game die is a compact cube measuring well under an inch across and weighing a fraction of an ounce.
Most board games use 0.63-inch (16 mm) dice, but sizes can range from tiny 0.2-inch (5 mm) novelty pieces to oversized 1-inch (25 mm) blocks. Casino dice are slightly larger, standardized at 0.75 inches (19 mm) on each edge with sharp, precise corners to ensure fair rolls. Despite the variety of multi-sided shapes used in hobby gaming, this small six-sided cube remains the most widely recognized size worldwide.
From Wikipedia
A die is a small, throwable object with marked sides that can rest in multiple positions. Dice are used for generating random values, commonly as part of tabletop games, including dice games, board games, role-playing games, and games of chance.
