I found this going though some things but can’t figure out what it’s from. All the dice are wood, with the six on the outside having a standard 1-6 numbering, while the middle one counts by tens, from 10 to 60. The plastic case doesn’t open and doesn’t have any markings. They are loose enough you can ‘role’ the dice by rubbing the whole thing on the palm of your hand. It can kind of act like a fidget spinner, but I’m pretty sure it predates them. Any searching I’ve done has either turned up actual fidget spinner dice or sets of roleplaying dice, so I’m turning to all of you.

    It’s a maths puzzle called Magic Mixer - you roll it and whatever the numbers in black add up to, you have to try and make the rest sum to that too

    I collect dice and have never seen this before. Is it possible you know the origin of manufacture? Like perhaps it’s from a game known only in a certain linguistic region.

    I’ve had this as a kid and never knew how to play it and it was pretty much just a fidget spinner for me lol Thanks for the dose of nostalgia and finally solving the mystery for me OP!

    Looks like a game piece from some 80s-90s kids board game.
