Dice Counter System

Abstract

A counter system for a game includes three six-sided die including numbers and symbols thereon, that can be used to represent a numeric value. The counter system provides an easy, fast and visually clean way to represent a number with one or multiple digits, as well as positive and negative values. The counter system is useful for any tabletop game that requires players to keep count of values such as (but not limited to) life, damage, power, toughness, poison, etc.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A counter system for a game, the counter system comprising:

         4 . The counter system of  claim 3 , wherein one of the six faces of the at least one first die includes the one of the minus symbol, the plus symbol, the special symbol or the logo. 
     
     
         5 . The counter system of  claim 4 , wherein number three is parallel to number four on the at least one first die. 
     
     
         6 . The counter system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one second die includes the cube shape and wherein the second plurality of faces includes six faces. 
     
     
         7 . The counter system of  claim 6 , wherein five of the six faces of the at least one second die each include a different one of the numbers between five and nine such that the at least one second die is numbered five to nine. 
     
     
         8 . The counter system of  claim 7 , wherein one of the six faces of the at least one second die includes the another one of the minus symbol, the plus symbol, the special symbol or the logo. 
     
     
         9 . The counter system of  claim 8 , wherein number eight is parallel to number nine on the at least one second die. 
     
     
         10 . The counter system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one third die includes the cube shape and wherein the third plurality of faces includes six faces. 
     
     
         11 . The counter system of  claim 10 , wherein three of the six faces of the at least one third die each include the minus symbol and wherein another three of the six faces of the at least one third die each include the plus symbol. 
     
     
         12 . A counter system for a game, the counter system comprising:
 at least one first cube die including six faces, five of the six faces of the at least one first cube die each including a different number between zero and four, inclusive, such that the at least one first die is numbered zero to four, and one of the six faces of the at least one first cube die including one of a minus symbol, a plus symbol, a special symbol or a logo;   at least one second cube die including six faces, five of the six faces of the at least one second cube die each including a different number between five and nine, inclusive, such that the at least one second die is numbered five to nine, and one of the six faces of the at least one second cube die including another one of a minus symbol, a plus symbol, a special symbol or a logo; and   at least one third cube die including six faces, three of the six faces of the at least one third cube die each including a minus symbol, another three of the six faces of the at least one third cube die each including a plus symbol; and   wherein at least one of the at least one first cube die, the at least one second cube die and the at least one third cube die are used in combination to represent a numeric value in the game.   
     
     
         13 . The counter system of  claim 12 , wherein number three is parallel to number four on the at least one first cube die. 
     
     
         14 . The counter system of  claim 13 , wherein number eight is parallel to number nine on the at least one second cube die. 
     
     
         15 . A game kit comprising:
 a tabletop game chosen from the group consisting of board games, card games, dice games and any combination thereof;   at least one first die including a first plurality of faces, a portion of the first plurality of faces each including a number from between zero and four, inclusive, a remaining portion of the first plurality of faces including one of a minus symbol, a plus symbol, a special symbol or a logo;   at least one second die including a second plurality of faces, a portion of the second plurality of faces each including a number from between five and nine, inclusive, a remaining portion of the second plurality of faces including another one of a minus symbol, a plus symbol, a special symbol or a logo; and   at least one third die including a third plurality of faces, a portion of the third plurality of faces each including a minus symbol, a remaining portion of the third plurality of faces each including a plus symbol; and   wherein at least one of the at least one first die, the at least one second die and the at least one third die are used in combination to represent a numeric value in the tabletop game.
