These are great. They are used in tournaments and league play all over. Here's how they work. With dice, one pip equals ten damage, so if you place two sixes on a Pokemon, that's 6+6 for 120 damage.When used as coins, it's even easier. Heads is even, and tails is odd. So if you want to flip 3 coins, just roll three dice. If you get even, even, odd, it's two heads and a tail. It's just that easy. You can often get dice at your local league, or your comic book, or game shop. Damage counters, or dice, should be placed over the image on the Pokemon card. That way you can still read the text.
