Abstract A die for use in playing dice games in which the die is formed from three like shaft members fixedly secured at their midpoints to each other in mutually perpendicular relationship. Indicia elements representing the numbers one through six are respectively located at the outer ends of each shaft member. When cast, the die will come to rest in a stable position with three ends of the shafts resting on the playing surface with the three remaining opposite ends facing upwardly. The number called may thus be taken as the sum of the three numbers on the up ends of the shaft or, under other rules, may be called as that number on the end of a shaft pointing in a precalled direction. By mounting block like members of differing configurations and colors at the ends of the shaft members, number, shape and color permutations may be set up in accordance with predetermined rules to introduce games of widely varying odds.
