Points make the difference: exploring the role of dice in board gaming

Dice are an important element in tabletop games, playing a role in adding fun and uncertainty to the game. They usually have multiple faces, each labeled with a different number of points, commonly from 1 to 6. As players play the game, the result of the dice throw determines their movement, action, or other decisions. This randomness gives the game a certain amount of strategy and tactics, as players need to make decisions based on the results of the dice, while adapting to changing situations.
