Dice, fundamental tools for games and random number generation, exist in diverse forms. This brief overview introduces two common types: the standard six-sided cube, numbered 1-6, ubiquitous in board and casino games; and the less frequent four-sided tetrahedron, displaying numbers 1-4. Both ensure fair and unpredictable outcomes, making them essential gaming components.
