Abstract

Liquid core dice sets have become increasingly popular due to their eye-catching designs adding extra style and physical personalisation to a player’s tabletop games. Though all dice makers and retailers state that their liquid core dice are just as balanced as all other dice, many tabletop players would still question this, so this paper aims to investigate the balance of liquid core dice compared to standard resin dice.
