This unique 4 sided die is easier to roll than the standard tetrahedron and it's easier to read the result. The shape is a gyrobifastigium, an order 2 polyisohedron. It has 4 square sides and 4 equilateral triangle sides, though only the square sides are stable. For more information on unique dice shapes, see http://loki3.com/poly/fair-dice.html.

This interesting shape makes for a unique 6 sided die.

It has a convex hull that's a triangle dipyramid, an isohedron. Since a triangle dipyramid doesn't have parallel opposite sides, I started from a wireframe. Then I created a shape inside it that has sides parallel to the outside shape.

This shape makes an interesting alternative to the traditional 8 sided die. It's made of two pyramids fused together. It has a convex hull that's a tetragonal trapezohedron, an isohedron. I embedded two pyramids inside each other to make this die. Its convex hull, a tetragonal trapezohedron, doesn't have parallel opposite sides, so this is a nice way to create an elegant 8 sided die.

This is a simple 9 sided die.

It's a lat-long polyisohedron, an order 3 polyisohedron. Though this shape has 27 sides, only 9 of them are stable, each of which appear with equal probability. The numbered sides are offset from the other sides so it's easy to read the result of a roll.

This unlikely tangle is actually a fair 12 sided die. This is a much more interesting shape than the traditional regular dodecahedron.

This 12 sided die is a tetragonal pentagonal dodecahedron, an isohedron. Crystallographers know it as the tetartoid. It's a challenging shape to turn into a die since opposite faces aren't even close to being parallel. To make it work, I started from a wireframe of the shape then embedded parallel sides inside it. The result is one of the most unlikely looking dice I've seen.

This interesting shape makes for a unique alternative to traditional 12 sided dice. The result is read off of the side that's parallel to the table, rather than the side that's on top.

This 12 sided die is a tetrahedron cumulation, an isohedron. It has a convex hull that's a triakis tetrahedron, an isohedron. The triakis tetrahedron is a tricky shape to turn into a die since opposite sides aren't parallel. But by creating parallel faces inside the convex hull, I was able to create usable dice.

This 12 sided die is an interesting variation on the standard dodecahedral dice.

It's an octahedral pentagonal dodecahedra, an isohedron. It's also known as a pyritohedron, since it's one of the crystal forms of pyrite. This is just one example of the infinite number of pyritohedra. They typically look like a slightly warped version of a regular dodecahedron.

This unique 4 sided die is easier to roll than the standard tetrahedron and it's easier to read the result.

The shape is a gyrobifastigium, an order 2 polyisohedron. It has 4 square sides and 4 equilateral triangle sides, though only the square sides are stable.

Note that this is a blank, so the faces will need to be numbered.  For more information on unique dice shapes, see http://loki3.com/poly/fair-dice.html.

This interesting shape is a 5 sided die.  When rolled, it can land either just on the points of the star or on points of the star and the tip of one of the pyramids. It's numbered in such a way that there are 5 possible outcomes, each appearing with equal probability.

It has a convex hull that's a lat-long polyisohedron, an order 3 polyisohedron. It consists of an overall star shape with 5 sided pyramids on each side.

Note that this is a blank, so the faces will need to be numbered.  For more information on unique dice shapes, see http://loki3.com/poly/fair-dice.html.

This unique shape is a 7 sided die.

It's a lat-long polyisohedron, an order 3 polyisohedron. Though this shape has 21 sides, only 7 of them are stable, each of which appear with equal probability. The numbered sides are offset from the other sides so it's easy to read the result of a roll.

This shape is an interesting variation on the traditional 10 sided die.

This 10 sided die is a lat-long polyisohedron, an order 2 polyisohedron. There are actually 20 triangular sides to this shape, where the sides aren't all equivalent. I've combined adjacent pairs together so that each of the resulting 10 sides can be rolled with equal probability.

Note that this is a blank, so the faces will need to be numbered.  For more information on unique dice shapes, see http://loki3.com/poly/fair-dice.html.

This shape works very nicely as a 12 sided die, providing an elegant alternative to the regular dodecahedron.

This unique shape is a 30 sided die.

It's a twice zonohedrified icosahedron, an order 3 polyisohedron. Though it actually has 90 sides, this design behaves much like a rhombic triacontahedron.
