Fancy's dual-purpose dice are designed by Bicycle and allow players to participate in both [Yahtzee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spam-yahtzee) and [Poker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poker-attache) games. This unique gaming set is illustrated with card suit motifs that are designed especially for the two games. Whether on-the-go or low on time, these dual-purpose dice can be used in the place of traditional cards and feature tiny card characters that make bulky decks a thing of the past.

These illustrated dice from Bicycle are priced at a $5.00 rate and are sold in a 5-piece set, with each die boasting 6 sides. These sides feature different designs, making the dice perfect for road trips, beach hangouts or long train rides that don't require a [traditional deck of cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balatro-playing-card-deck).
