Trick Dice

IMG_20241121_232849.jpg

Have you ever gambled with family or friends but you kept losing? Have you ever felt frustrated because of rolling a dice and it wasn’t a number you wanted? We experienced this a lot so we made TRICK DICE. You are probably wondering what that means, this is a dice that will always roll a specific number which we set to ONE. We made it so it doesn't roll one every time, but it is heavily skewed to roll one. It will roll one most of the time, but there is still a chance that it rolls other numbers. The reason we wanted to make this Trick Dice is because when we play Trouble — a board game that has to move every piece to the finish line. And how far a piece can move depends on what we roll on the dice. To make it a " Fair " game, we want everyone to only roll ONE so we can lower the chances of losing the game.

To make this dice we used Autodesk Inventor Professional 2025 to design it. Then we used a 3D Printer to print the dice out. The material of the dice we used was 3D Printer filament.
