roll of three 0-5 dice.



Hi,

I was reading:
THE PIECEPACK: IN SEARCH OF A GENERIC, UNIVERSAL BOARDGAME SET
by James Kyle (jdroscha@...)

http://www.piecepack.org/piecepack_article.html

And noticed this paragraph:

======================

The range of 0-5 also has an advantage over the natural 1-6 range (albeit a rather insignificant one) in that the roll of 3 dice covers all possible totals of tile values or coin values within a suit. That is, given a random subset of the tiles (or coins) within a single suit, the total value of those tiles will be in the range 0-15, which is the same range achieved by the roll of 3 dice.

======================

Has this feature been used in a game?
