Dices were probably originally made from the ankle bones which are approximately tetrahedral. Recently, the use of plastics is nearly universal. It is almost impossible to trace clearly the development of dices, it is certain, however, that they were used in prehistoric times. The faces of most dices are labelled using whole numbers, starting at one. Most of dices are cubical but there are some having more sides labelled with symbols which are not numbers. Generally, all dices are used to generate a random result.
