A card deck of 36 cards representing the 36 possible outcomes of rolling 2, 6-sided dice.

Where can I get them?

Shoot me an email at cards@andrewlefferts.com. If you want me to order some for you, I'll check my email and get back to you.

How much would they cost?

The deck itself costs $15, but shipping depends on USPS and could tag on $7.20 or more, so I recommend getting multiple and sharing with friends.

How do you use them?

Just shuffle a deck and instead of rolling two dice, draw a card. I like not getting through the deck too fast, so I prefer a deck for every two players.

Why not just dice?

Dice are a perfectly acceptable way to play games, but me and my friends get frustrated with true random dice rolls. Because of probability, we're under the impression that 7 will come up more than 4, but 4 should come up roughly as much as 10. But since each dice roll is an independent event, it's unlikely but possible that you roll 4 ten times, and never roll 10 at all before your game is over. Even if you roll 10 a couple times, it can be frustrating. The purpose of dice cards is to even out the distribution. Every time you roll a 4, there is one fewer 4 in the deck to be drawn. Even if you don't make it through the whole deck and run out of 4s, it still effects the probability on every given card-draw.

Potential concerns.

The most obvious concern is giving the players an advantage by card counting. This is mitigable by either setting aside one or more cards to not by used in the shuffle, or by agreeing that a certain card being draw means the deck must be reshuffled prematurely.
