This one surely isn’t gonna be a speed cube of any sort, not only is it tiny but it’s also very tight and rather tough. Which is actually convenient if it’s also meant to double as a usable die to be rolled on a table.

This time I changed the dots around to conform to the US Casino official dice dot pattern. Not much changed except which side 3 and 4 are on, plus the slant direction on 2 and 3.

My choice of starting point was White=1, Blue=2, and let everything else fall into place based on official standards.

White=1, Blue=2, Orange=3, Red=4, Green=5, Yellow=6

The slight change in the dots doesn’t really change previous dot patterns I’ve already found with my previous prototype, except the 5/5/5 pattern swaps one of the 5 sides, but the same set of moves still yields the 5/5/5 pattern.

    What cube did you use? Can’t think of any 21 mm ones off the top of my head.

      Good question. Sadly I don’t have an answer, a junk collector buddy of mine found it somewhere and gave it to me.

      It was also gunked up with some sort of crud that made it almost impossible to turn, I had to wash it a few times before it became even remotely playable.

      Edit: I’m actually not a big fan of using the official casino dice dot pattern on this. I prefer the left handed variation I originally came up with, as a variety of neat dot patterns and color patterns coincide more with the left handed version.

      Here’s a reference for the initial left handed die-cube I made. After toying around with both left and right handed variations, I actually prefer the left handed variation. It seems to give better coordinated color/dot patterns across red/green/white (Christmas colors) and also across red/white/blue (many national flags)…

      Of course, being a left handed die, it doesn’t comply with US casino standards, but I’m pretty sure they’re not gonna let you roll one of these at the craps table anyways. It is still a proper die though.
