Poker Dice are a specific type of dice designed for playing a dice-based version of poker.
Here's how they typically work:
 
What they are: Instead of the standard numbers (1-6) or pips (dots), Poker Dice have representations of playing card ranks on their six sides. The most common markings are:
Ace (A)
King (K)
Queen (Q)
Jack (J)
Ten (10)
Nine (9) (Some variations might include suits, or use colors for face cards, but the ranks 9-A are standard).
 
The Game (How to Play):
It's usually played with five Poker Dice.
Players take turns rolling the dice to form the best possible poker hand.
Typically, a player gets three rolls (similar to Five-Card Draw Poker). After the first roll, they can choose which dice to keep and which to re-roll (up to two more times) to improve their hand.
Hand Rankings: Hands generally rank like traditional poker (Five of a Kind, Four of a Kind, Full House, Straight, Three of a Kind, Two Pair, One Pair, High Card). However, since there are no suits (or limited suits), Flushes and Straight Flushes are usually not possible. Five of a Kind is typically the highest hand.
The player with the highest-ranking hand at the end of their turn wins the round. Betting can be incorporated with chips, similar to card poker.
 
How they differ from standard dice/cards:
They are specifically marked for poker hands, unlike standard numbered dice.
They offer a quicker, more portable way to play a poker-style game without needing a deck of cards.
