Dice - A Dicey Love Affair

I love dice! I collect dice and also games with special dice. This list is a compilation of games with special dice.
Note that most of my favorite games, such as Agricola, Carcassonne, and Puerto Rico do not involve dice. I purchase dice game for family gatherings or quick fillers.
I have many more dice that are outside the scope of BGG and not part of any specific game. They would be too numerous to list here.
Photos are courtesy of other Board Game Geeks, unless otherwise noted.
Note that entries on this list are dice related items. Though they may not directly be dice, I felt that they should be part of this list.
Please feel free to add your recommendations to this list. I realize that there are hundreds of games out there with specialty dice and that this list is not comprehensive. If you do add a game, please also add a medium-size picture of the dice. Please put in your message: [imageid=xxxxxxxmedium] where xxxxxx is the number of the picture that you would like to display. In some cases, the picture may be too small and will not display as a medium-size picture. In that case, just simply eliminate the word medium. If there are several small pictures that better displays the dice, please feel free to add them.
Games that I own are listed with the graphic:   
My goal is to list the best picture I can find for each of these games. So if you add a game: Please do the best you can to add an accompanying picture that best represents the dice.
This list is always under construction.
Index to games that start with: I want to thank the following individuals for posting these lists. The list listed below were a valuable resource for creating this list. I have been incorporating all of the dice listed in these lists into my list.
okay, I admit it: I love specialty dice Matt B (TakeMeToYourLizard) originally created that list.
Game that have unususal shaped dice Ingo Immer (changeling) originally created that list.
Don't lose those Dice! Rod Taylor (Rod05) originally created that list.
Games with dice without pips or numbers Just here to study Americans (_Kael_) originally created that list.

They're all regular D6 dice... but I bet you can find them interesting.

Jenga variant
Note: There are many variants of Jenga. I added this picture, because it referred to the base game. Please add pictures of other variants only if there are close-up pictures of the dice.

Unlike many of the other Jenga games, this one has a spinner instead of a die.

However, I have decided to keep this list focused on special dice that come with games / or are directly related to games.
Thanks for the pointers, however!

It might not be the only game that uses those dice, but the Hercules & Xena RPG is a candidate.
