Methods and systems for designing and manufacturing a mathematically fair N-sided die are disclosed. An example method can comprise selecting an irregular polyhedron to serve as a die, and determining a center of mass of the selected irregular polyhedron die. In an aspect, a size of each face of the irregular polyhedron can be selected such that a solid angle subtended by each face from the center of mass of the selected irregular polyhedron can be equal. In an aspect a system comprising an injection molding apparatus can be used to form the die

Systems and methods are disclosed herein to a die comprising a plurality of faces (N); and a plurality of elements (n), including an unbiased set of elements and a biased set of elements, that are labeled on the plurality of faces, wherein each face is labeled with one of the plurality of elements, at least one element is labeled on more faces than the other elements, and all the faces are labeled in an unbiased manner such that the faces are labeled by placing an element from the unbiased set of elements after every (N−n)/n occurrences of an element from the set of biased elements, when a count (ci) of each unique element in the unbiased set is equal to 1.

In a die which has a regular polyhedron form and which can be opened into a continuous polygonal form on a plane, boundary areas (Rb) between planes (11 through 16) on the inner side of the regular polyhedron have inclination angles determined according to the regular polyhedron. In addition, engaging portions (21a, 21b, 24a, 24b, 25a, 25b, 26a, 26b) not exceeding the respective boundary areas (Rb) are placed on the boundary areas (Rb) of predetermined planes (11 through 16). Such a die is formed by injecting plastic resin within a mold (31, 32) according to the form of the opened die. This realizes a three-dimensional die capable of being opened onto a two-dimensional plane, which has only been fictionally conceived, and further provides a manufacturing method thereof.

Systems and methods for designing and selling a user-generated game offered for sale via an online retail platform are provided. A user can input user-specified game information via a computing device over a network instructions for the development of the components of a game are automatically created based at least in part on the user-specified game information. Moreover, the systems and methods may further include transmitting the instructions for the development of the components of the game to an online retail platform, print on demand manufacturing the game, and thereafter offering the game for sale or rent via the online retail platform.

3D character dice provide game pieces of a novel game requiring no board and fitting easily in a compact carrying case. The dice can take one of many forms and may have any even number of sides from 4 to 20 and may develop into a collectible set of characters. A boardless game having game-directive cards which are tied to the differing faces of the character die is also disclosed.

An electronic gaming die includes an enclosure, a flexible substrate, a number of light emitting diodes, a sensor, a processor and a battery. The enclosure has N sides where N is equal to or greater than 4. The flexible substrate folds into N sides and fits into an interior of the enclosure, wherein each side has an inner face, an outer face and is assigned an integer from 1 to N. The light emitting diodes are disposed on the outer face of each side of the flexible substrate, wherein the number of light emitting diodes equals the integer assigned to the side of the flexible substrate. The sensor, processor and battery are disposed on one of the inner faces of the flexible substrate.
