The notion of dice has several uses. The term can refer to the polyhedral object , usually cubic , whose faces exhibit the representation of figures or numbers . These elements are used in numerous games of chance.
For example: “Roll the dice at once!” , “To start playing, we first have to find the dice” , “On vacation I lost a lot of money playing general with my friends: the dice were not on my side” .
The most common dice are cube -shaped and therefore have six sides. A dot appears on each face, which represents a number: one dot is equivalent to the number 1 , two dots are equivalent to the number 2 , three dots are equivalent to the number 3 , etc. The player, by throwing the dice from a cup or by hand, can obtain various results, determined at random.
Dice that are not cubic and have more than six sides can be used in role-playing games . There is, in these cases, a greater number of possible results .
Generala is among the most famous dice games . The objective is to score points by throwing five dice, with a certain value for each of the possible plays. The player must put together the ten or eleven moves contemplated in the general.
In addition to everything indicated, it must be taken into account that now we also talk about virtual dice. This is the dice that is used on the Internet to enjoy different online games or even as a simulator for a board game if you do not have a physical dice. This virtual model is put into operation simply by clicking on it with the mouse.
In the same way, we cannot ignore what is known as “The Dice Club.” It is a channel on the YouTube platform that specializes in board games, such as Miskatonic, Munchkin, Bang!, Trollhala, The Golden Compass or Dead of Winter, among others.
Given, on the other hand, is an adjective that qualifies a person who shows a tendency towards something or who is friendly and sociable: “Maximiliano is a very given young man,” “My uncle is given to opposing everything.” The concept can also refer to something established or specific : “We will meet tomorrow at a given place.”
Of course, we cannot forget that Dice is also a personal name. Specifically, it is the diminutive of the Italian Alessandro. This is a name of Greek origin that can be translated as “the defender of men” and is considered to belong to men of strong character, who are always willing to protect their loved ones and who have a certain degree of introversion.
Likewise, they are responsible, fighters when it comes to achieving their goals and very charming in close relationships. Perhaps one of the best-known characters with that diminutive is Dado Lequio, an Italian aristocrat who was the partner of the Spanish actress Ana Obregón and who is the great-grandson of King Alfonso XIII and second cousin of the current King Felipe VI. He is currently a controversial television collaborator.
Finally, dada can be a conjugation of the verb dar : “I don't like the clothes they gave me to work with,” “In last night's game they beat us up.”
