===Alternatively-numbered dice=== Dice may have numbers that do not form a counting sequence starting at one. One variation on the standard die is known as the "average" die.<ref name="em4">{{Cite web |title=Specialist D6 |url=http://www.em4miniatures.com/acatalog/SPECIALIST_D6.html |access-date=18 August 2017 |website=em4miniatures}}</ref><ref name="tmp">{{Cite web |date=20 November 2009 |title=[TMP] 'What are Average Dice' Topic |url=http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=184673 |access-date=18 August 2017 |website=The Miniatures Page |language=en}}</ref> These are six-sided dice with sides numbered <code>2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5</code>, which have the same [[arithmetic mean]] as a standard die (3.5 for a single die, 7 for a pair of dice), but have a narrower range of possible values (2 through 5 for one, 4 through 10 for a pair). They are used in some table-top [[wargame]]s, where a narrower range of numbers is required.<ref name="tmp" /> Other numbered variations include [[Sicherman dice]] and [[intransitive dice]].
