How to use this dice roller
- Click "Roll dice" (or press the spacebar) to roll both dice at once.
- Read the result off the two dice, or off the sum announced for screen readers.
- Click "Reset" to set both dice back to a neutral 1-and-1 display between turns.
Works on desktop and mobile, so it's just as easy to pass a phone around the table as it is to project it on a screen for a video call.
Games you can play with two dice
Plenty of classic board games are built around exactly two six-sided dice:
- Monopoly — move your piece the total of both dice each turn.
- Backgammon — each die value moves one checker.
- Craps — built entirely around the sum of two dice.
- Catan — the roll determines which resources get produced that turn.
It also works for any homebrew tabletop game, party game, or classroom activity that calls for two dice. Note this tool rolls exactly two dice — games like Yahtzee that need five dice at once aren't a fit for this particular roller.
Good for virtual and remote game nights
Share your screen during a video call so everyone can see the same roll, or have whoever's turn it is roll and call out the result. Since it runs entirely in your browser with no server round-trip per roll, there's no lag waiting for a result.
Frequently asked questions
Is this dice roller free to use?
Yes — free, with no sign-up or download. It runs directly in your browser on desktop or mobile.
Are the rolls actually random?
Yes — each die is generated independently, giving every face an equal 1-in-6 chance on every roll, exactly like a physical die.
Can I use this instead of physical dice for board games?
Yes, for any game that uses exactly two standard six-sided dice — Monopoly, Backgammon, Craps, Catan, and many others. It's also a handy backup when a physical die gets lost mid-game.
Can I roll just one die, or more than two?
This roller is built specifically for two six-sided dice. For a different number of dice or sides, look for a general-purpose dice roller elsewhere on the site.
Does it work on mobile devices?
Yes — it's fully usable on phones and tablets, so you can pass a single device around the table or each roll on your own.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to roll?
Yes — press the spacebar to roll, as long as you're not currently typing in a text field elsewhere on the page.
