Why do we usually use a cube-shaped dice for board games?

In our board games, we typically use cube-shaped dice, and there's a neat reason for this. The cube, with its six equal and flat faces, ensures fair probability, meaning that each face has an equal 1 in 6 chance of landing face-up. This impartiality is crucial for games where outcomes hinge on randomness. Besides, the cube's shape is easy to roll and doesn't easily roll away, making it practical for play. So, next time you're rolling that dice, remember there's centuries of mathematical fairness in your hand!
