White cubes with red letters. One seems to be geometric shapes in Spanish. The faces are inscribed- rombo triangulo trapezoide cuadrado hexagano The other is a complete mystery. It is inscribed with- alt1 bir iki dort (umlaut over the o) uc (umlaut over the u, strange mark like tiny backwards c under the c) bes (mark like tiny, backwards c under the s) Any ideas as to what this stuff means or where it came from? ---

The bottom words are Turkish numbers: 1 bir 2 iki 3 üç 4 dört 5 beş 6 altı I can’t help you with the game, though. ---

You only said five shape-words for the first die… Is one repeated, or did you miss one? ---

Ya know, I have a hundred or so different types of dice (or should that be “dies”?), so I thought it would be cool to check out that [dicecollector.com](http://dicecollector.com) site… I was wrong. Did that win some award for worst site design/content, or haven’t they handed out that award yet? The guy does have a huge collection of dice (more than 29,000! yikes!) but his website looks like every design decision was made with a die roll of some kind. OP: I hope you can find what game those came from. I know that my dice from [Cosmic Wimpout](http://www.cosmicwimpout.com/) or [High Roller](http://www.wickedliquid.com/stonerwarehighrollerdicegame.html) would prolly be a mystery to most people if they just found them without the rules. ---

> [@DocCathode](#): > > strange mark like tiny backwards c under the c) Can’t help identify the dice, I’m afraid, but for future reference, that mark is called a [Cedilla](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cedilla). And, yipes, Bo is right, that Dice Collector site is really badly designed. Looks like an early 90s site, except all javascripted up.
