Just a note for those less familiar with English and all its inconsistencies:

no dice
one die ("one dice" is not strictly correct but used quite often so is not too bad) :roll1:
two dice :roll2: :roll2:
three dice :roll3: :roll3: :roll3:
four dice :roll4: :roll4: :roll4: :roll4:
etc
"dices" isn't ever correct when referring to the little random number/event generators that you roll for playing games. |_P

Yeah, it's one of my old weaknesses. Theoretically known to me, but somehow i am not able to implement :) There are more words like that in my language, even in my mother tongue.

No, let a German tell you:
ein Würfel,
zwei Würfelel,
drei Würfelelel,
vier Würfelelelel,
...
siebenundzwanzig Würfelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelelel,
und so weiter.

When our forefathers invented German, they thought they were oh so clever and the language so easy...

Thanks for this explanation. I always thought it was
1 Würfel
2 Würfels
3 Würfellers
4 Würfelsellers

And so on

Corrected design.
Knightkrawler, i was trying your idea with overlapping symbols, but it didn't look good - two symbols on a side, the pair overlapping and the single symbol with a bit of distance, wasn't working for me.

Maybe this has to be printed on the big die size - 19mm.

Looks good, cause on second thought, overlapping symbols at the real size could be too indistinct.
