This dice is where geek culture meets game night. Instead of traditional dots, each face is engraved with the binary representation of the numbers 1 through 6. That means when you roll, you’re not just getting a result – you’re also practicing how to read numbers in base 2. To make sure nobody gets lost in translation, we’ve added a small 0b marker at the beginning of every code. This is the same prefix programmers use in many coding languages to indicate a binary number. By following the 0b, you’ll always know which direction to read the sequence, ensuring that your dice stays consistent and unambiguous. The result is both playful and educational: a fully functional dice that can be used in any board game, while also doubling as a clever way to introduce binary numbers to friends, kids, or anyone curious about how computers count. Whether you’re a programmer, a gamer, or just a fan of nerdy gadgets, this dice is a fun conversation starter and a unique twist on a timeless game accessory.
Use a blank wooden dice as the base. Sand it lightly if necessary to ensure a smooth engraving surface.
Open the binary engraving template in your laser software.
Check if the parameters fit the wood your dice is made of.

appears – this ensures the binary code is oriented correctly.Make sure to engrave the correct layout. The 6 is oposite of the 1, the 3 oposite of the 4 and so on.
Optionally, add a coat of clear finish or wax to protect the engravings and give the dice a polished look.
