two simple dice

Dice, often used in games and for generating random numbers, come in various forms. Here are two simple dice introduced in 100 words: A standard six-sided die, also known as a cube, features numbers from 1 to 6 on each of its faces. It's commonly used in board games and casino games like craps. Another simple die is a four-sided die, or tetrahedron, with each face showing a number from 1 to 4. It's less common but can add variety to games. Both types are fair and random, making them essential tools for many games.
