Dice & Dice Sets

Dice have been central to human games and decision-making for thousands of years, with the earliest known examples dating back to around 3000 BC in Mesopotamia. These artifacts mark not only the inception of dice as tools for divination and entertainment but also the beginning of a rich cultural and technological journey that spans across civilizations. Traditional six-sided dice, or D6s, have roots deep in ancient history, used in games of chance and strategy alike.

As role-playing games (RPGs) and board games have evolved, so too have the dice that accompany them. The 20-sided dice (D20) became a staple of the RPG world with the advent of Dungeons & Dragons in the 1970s, introducing a level of unpredictability and chance that has since become synonymous with the gaming experience. Similarly, 10-sided dice (D10) have found their place in games requiring a percentile system, offering a wider range of outcomes and adding depth to gameplay mechanics.

In the modern era, dice have transcended their traditional roles, becoming not just tools but collectible items of art and craftsmanship. Haiku Pop Gaming & Collectibles proudly carries an extensive variety of dice, catering to all gamers' needs, from the casual to the dedicated collector. Our collection includes dice made from various materials, including:
