A triplet of 20 mm Non-transitive Dice (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intransitive_dice) with sides: 

  • A: 1, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4
  • B: 2, 2, 2, 5, 5, 5
  • C: 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 6

There are many known sets of non-transitive dice (see: https://singingbanana.com/dice/article.htm) but this particular set has the following properties:

  • If you roll A against B: 
    • A wins 15/36 of the time.
    • B wins 21/36 of the time.
  • If you roll B against C, 
    • B wins 15/36 of the time.
    • C wins 21/36 of the time.
  • If you roll C against A, 
    • C wins 11/36 of the time.
    • A wins 25/36 of the time.

Moreover, if you roll two copies of each dice, the dominance relationships are inverted:

  • If you roll two copies of A against two copies of B:
    • A+A wins 765/1296 of the time.
    • B+B wins 531/1296 of the time.
  • If you roll two copies of B against two copies of C:
    • B+B wins 765/1296 of the time.
    • C+C wins 531/1296 of the time.
  • If you roll two copies of C against two copies of A:
    • C+C wins 671/1296 of the time.
    • A+A wins 625/1296 of the time.

I attach the parametric OpenScad file, so you can modify the design. It includes a module that allows you to create any cubic dice with pips ranging from 0 to 9.
