What is Flat Chances novelty dice?

Flat Chances are series of handmade decision trees that utilize the randomness of flipping a coin to simulate different dice or other denominations of values.

How do you use Flat Chances dice?

With a Flat Chances decision tree, starting at the center circle flip a coin to navigate to each outer circle to reach your target circle group. Without a decision tree, divide the max number you want as a dice roll into 2 equal groups. If the grouping is not an integer(whole number), share the middle value with both groups to even it out. (I.E. ‘9’ is the max number. Dividing 9 by 2 would result into 4.5 in both groups. The first group being 1-to-4.5 and the second group being 4.5-to-9. Sharing the integer with both groups would make the first group 1-to-5 and the second group 5-to-9.) The first group is heads and the second group is tails. Keep dividing the groups into two equal parts with each flip of the coin until there is only one choice left. Each time if the group is uneven, share the middle value with both groups.

• ‘Team rolls’, because navigating the majority of the Flat Chances decision trees need more that one actions, you can have the multiple players make one flip and then use their combined sequence of coin flips to navigate the decision trees. Sharing the pressure of certain results on the all players whole flipped a coin.
• Items to change their luck, Having an game item, like a token, to allow editing rolls to change how certain coin flips resulted in heads or tails. Because most Flat Chances need 4 or 5 coin flips to navigate the decision tree, it would be best to allow players to use a game token or game item to change the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd coin flip to change the result of their ‘roll’.
