Tärningsstorlekar

Tärningsstorlekar, or dice sizes, refer to the dimensions of standard polyhedral dice used in games and gambling. The most common dice sizes are based on the Platonic solids, which have equal faces and vertices. The standard sizes are:

D4: A tetrahedron with four triangular faces, used in some role-playing games and board games.

D6: A cube with six square faces, the most common die size used in games like Dungeons & Dragons and board games like Yahtzee.

D8: An octahedron with eight triangular faces, used in various games for its unique properties.

D10: A decahedron with ten faces, often used in games that require a higher number of outcomes, such as some role-playing games and board games.

D12: A dodecahedron with twelve pentagonal faces, used in games like Dungeons & Dragons and board games like Risk.

D20: An icosahedron with twenty triangular faces, the most common die size for modern role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons.

In addition to these standard sizes, there are also non-standard dice sizes, such as the D100, which is a special type of D10 used in games like Dungeons & Dragons, and the D3, which is a triangular die used in some games. The size of a die can significantly impact gameplay, as it determines the range of possible outcomes and the probability of rolling certain numbers.
