"The die is cast." (189,000 gh) Yeahbut©, how many hits can you get besides that one classic quote. This is like arguing that whom has some life left in it by quoting the title of the Hemingway book.

This is like arguing that whom has some life left in it by quoting the title of the Hemingway book. well, also, anyone who's played any amount of board games (and actually read the roolz) is gonna have come up against the concept of a die. Clue® : Six miniature weapons and one die. link Trivial Pursuit® : game board, question and answer cards in 2 card storage boxes, 1 die, 6 tokens, 36 scoring wedges, 1 code card link Chutes/Snakes and Ladders® : Each player starts with a token in the starting square and takes turns to roll a single die to move the token by the number of squares indicated by the die roll , following a fixed route marked on the gameboard which usually follows a boustrophedon (ox-plow) track from the bottom to the top of the playing area, passing once through every square. link

I'm with you, Buff. Having played many boardgames (and non-board games requiring specialized dice such as 3-, 4-, 5-, 7-, 9-, 10- and up to 20- sided...) with my kids, they've known since they were little, and they use them correctly. People who don't play tactile games often are more likely to be less familiar with the terms.
