  • Tim has many examples of unusual dice in his collection, and here he shows dice that can balance on one corner, a very earl example of an electronic dice, an 'overthrown' dice where the spots seem to have shifted, Sicherman and non transitive dice, dice that you can fold from a single sheet of paper, and so on...

    The origami die was really cool, the way it's folded. But I really liked how he almost closed the video with "DIE." and then quickly clarified, "Dice." x)

I've seen some beautiful antique compendium game box.
