Cuboid dice are rare; made of terracotta, they are reported from the Kushan and later levels of KUMRAHAR, RANG MAHAL and SAMBHAR. They bear one to six marks arranged in such a manner that the sum of the points on each pair of the opposite faces is seven, similar to those known from Harappa sites. Some early medieval dice come from CHIRAND, PĀṬALIPUTRA, SHAMALAJI, etc.
