100-SIDED DIE!
This is an incredible playing piece. These are most often used by Role Playing Gamers. They measure about 1 1/2" in diameter. Would also be great as a math helper with math functions.
This auction is for ONE DIE that is OPAQUE RED with WHITE numbers - 1-100.
We've copied a description & explanation on the history of these dice.
Zocchihedron
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source
Zocchihedron is the trademark of the most common 100-sided die, invented by Lou Zocchi, which debuted in 1985. It is not a polyhedron. Rather, it is more like a ball with 100 flattened planes. It is sometimes called "Zocchi's Golfball."
It took three years for Zocchi to design his die, and three more years to get it into production. Zocchi discovered that the die would perform best at a thickness of 13.85 mm. Since its introduction Zocchi has improved the design of the Zocchihedron, filling it with teardrop-shaped free-falling weights to make it settle faster when rolled. The Zocchihedron II has recently been released. It's a further improved model, and has a different filling material.
Zocchihedra are designed to handle percentage rolls in games, particularly in roleplaying games. They are not in common usage because of their unwieldiness (the original Zocchihedrons take several seconds to settle), their scarcity, and their cost (a single 100-sided die will typically cost as much as perhaps 10 or 20 regular dice). Players often find it more convenient to use two ten-sided dice (or two 20-sided dice) numbered 0–9 of differing colors, in advance declaring one color as the "tens" die and the other as the "ones" die; there are also ten-sided dice marked 00 to 90 using intervals of ten, which can be combined with a regular ten-sided die marked 0 to 9 to the same effect.
This die is brand new!
