== Improved Dice? ==

Previously, I made an error in counting and thought that some combos have a different probability to appear. But it's clear that any combo (say Red or Green) has a probability of 5/6 to appear, because only ONE combo doesn't have either color (in this case, Yellow and Blue). We do not need a different dice. But some probabilities may be lower by removing some colors (but which one?). I had a design of a dice that featured the probability of 4/6 for the combos (R or G) and (G or B). We can remove G from the Y/G combo to achieve this.

A dice that provides these probabilities is:

! N !! Color Combo

| 1 || R/B

| 2 || Y

| 3 || R/G

| 4 || Y/B

| 5 || R/Y

| 6 || G/B

'''Table.''' Improved Dice?

Note that one throw has ONLY Yellow.

I will playtest this and report back.

Perhaps, additionally, you should be allowed to throw again until you get another number, if you throw G/B and the Bank is empty.

I considered that two combos that do not share a color, should be on opposite sides of the dice, and perhaps that there isn't a color that adds to 6 (1+2+3) or 15 (4+5+6), but this is impossible. However, we'd like the combos Y+R and G+B to be as close to the expected 5 x 3.5 = 17.5 as possible. The following dice delivers:

| 2 || Y/B

| 3 || G/B

| 4 || R/Y

| 5 || R/G

| 6 || Y/G

'''Table.''' Improved Dice?

I'm sure that in practice, this dice performs equal to any other dice that has the combos distributed in a different way, but this design appeals to my sense of aesthetics.
