Modular dice system

Abstract

A modular dice system includes a block member including a plurality of sides each having a same shape and size. Each of the sides includes a first mating member. A plurality of tiles is provided and each has an interior surface, an exterior surface and a perimeter edge. Each of the interior surfaces includes a second mating member. Each of the second mating members is releasably couplable to one of the first mating members. The exterior surfaces each have indicia thereon and the indicia differ from tile to tile. The perimeter edges of the tiles are exposed when the tiles are attached to the block member such that the perimeter edges abut an upper side of a rolling surface when the block member is rolled on the rolling surface. The perimeter edges retain a space between the block member and the rolling surface.

1 . A modular die assembly comprising:
 a block member having an exterior surface comprising a plurality of sides, each of the sides having a same shape and size, the plurality of sides being at least four sides, each of the sides being planar and adjacently positioned sides defining a respective linear edge between the adjacently positioned sides;   a plurality of first mating members being attached to the exterior surface such that each of the sides includes one of the first mating members, each of the first mating members comprising a male coupler extending outwardly from the exterior surface, each male coupler having an outer face parallel and spaced from the exterior surface such that the outer face of each male coupler is outwardly offset from each linear edge of the side of the block member associated with the male coupler;   a plurality of tiles each having an interior surface, an exterior surface and a perimeter edge extending between the interior and exterior surfaces, each of the tiles having a same shape as the sides, the exterior surface of each of the tiles being planar;   a plurality of second mating members being attached to the interior surfaces such that each of the interior surfaces includes one of the second mating members positioned thereon, each of the second mating members being releasably couplable to one of the first mating members such that the exterior surfaces define a die surface, each of the second mating members comprises a female coupler;   each of the exterior surfaces having indicia thereon, wherein at least some of the indicia on some of the tiles being different than the indicia on other ones of the tiles; and   the perimeter edges of the tiles being exposed when the tiles are attached to the block member such that the perimeter edges are configured to abut an upper side of a rolling surface when the block member is rolled on the rolling surface, the perimeter edges being configured to maintain a space between the block member and the rolling surface.   
     
     
         2 . The modular die assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sides of the block member being equal to six sides. 
     
     
         3 . The modular die assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of sides of the block member includes no more than twenty sides. 
     
     
         4 . The modular die assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the tiles has a size at least equal to the size of the sides of the block member. 
     
     
         5 . (canceled) 
     
     
         6 . A modular die assembly comprising:
 a block member having an exterior surface comprising a plurality of sides, each of the sides having a same shape and size, the plurality of sides being at least four sides, the plurality of sides including no more than twenty sides, each of the sides being planar and adjacently positioned sides defining a respective linear edge between the adjacently positioned sides;   a plurality of first mating members being attached to the exterior surface such that each of the sides includes one of the first mating members, each of the first mating members comprising a male coupler extending outwardly from the exterior surface, each male coupler having an outer face parallel and spaced from the exterior surface such that the outer face of each male coupler is outwardly offset from each linear edge of the side of the block member associated with the male coupler;   a plurality of tiles each having an interior surface, an exterior surface and a perimeter edge extending between the interior and exterior surfaces, each of the tiles having a same shape as the sides, each of the tiles having a size at least equal to the size of the sides of the block member, the exterior surface of each of the tiles being planar;   a plurality of second mating members being attached to the interior surfaces such that each of the interior surfaces includes one of the second mating members positioned thereon, each of the second mating members being releasably couplable to one of the first mating members such that the exterior surfaces define a die surface, each of the second mating members comprising a female coupler;   each of the exterior surfaces having indicia thereon, wherein at least some of the indicia on some of the tiles being different than the indicia on other ones of the tiles; and   the perimeter edges of the tiles being exposed when the tiles are attached to the block member such that the perimeter edges are configured to abut an upper side of a rolling surface when the block member is rolled on the rolling surface, the perimeter edges being configured to maintain a space between the block member and the rolling surface.
