Dice

The invention relates to a dice. In known dice, the number of different symbols, such as numbers, letters or colors, is determined by the number of faces of the dice.

^O is set to six. The task of the inventive dice is to enable the random determination of one of less than six symbols, in particular four symbols.

[> _The dice according to the invention is characterized in that two opposite surfaces are convex and that other surfaces are essentially flat and provided with various symbols.

The convex formation is so strong that the dice does not remain on one of the opposite surfaces when rolled out.

According to an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the opposing surfaces are essentially conical. It can also be ensured that the dice do not remain on one of the opposing surfaces if the opposing surfaces consist of cones which are flatter in the area of the tip than in the area of the base.

&idiagr;&udigr; line Another embodiment of the invention consists in that the opposing surfaces are essentially pyramid-shaped.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and explained in more detail in the following description. It shows:

Fig. 1 several views of the embodiment

Fig. 2 shows, for further explanation, a game board for a parlor game for which the dice according to the invention are suitable.

Figures 1a) and 1b) each show a view of the embodiment, while Fig. 1c) shows a development. The surfaces 11/ 12/ 13/ 14 are flat in a manner known per se and have circular disc-shaped color symbols 17, 18/ 19/ 20. Instead of the different colors, numbers 1 to 4 are shown in Fig. 1. The surfaces 11 to 14 can, however, also be provided with numbers/letters or other symbols. The other surfaces 15, 16 of the dice are essentially conical in shape/ so that the dice does not fall on the

Areas 15, 16 can remain lying. The dice therefore shows one of the symbols 17 to 20 after each throw.

In the embodiment shown, the two conical parts of the dice are each divided into a steeper truncated cone 21, 22 and a flatter cone tip 23, 24. This provides a more pleasing appearance and a better

TO Rolling the dice over the tips 25, 26

The relevant angles are chosen in such a way that the dice are not in a stable position when one of the cones 23, 24 rests on a horizontal surface with a dumbbell line.

The game board shown in Fig. 2 has five times seven square betting fields, with the same letters representing the same winning factors. At the corners of the square betting fields there are circular color markings with the colors 1 to 4, which are also provided on areas 11 to 14. Four dice are required for the game shown. Before rolling the dice, tokens are placed on selected betting fields. Those tokens that are on a betting field that has the rolled color combination at the four corners are awarded a win.
