A regular icosahedron is a polyhedron with 20 faces that are equilateral triangles. It is the Platonic solid with the most faces. The standard form available for purchase has faces numbered from 1 to 20, with opposite faces adding up to 21.

The standard form for twenty-sided die used in the hobby was developed around 1980, particularly for its use in Dungeons & Dragons by TSR and Creative Publications.

At that time they became widely available by being sold with the Tom Moldvay Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set from 1981.

Early Twenty-Sided Dice were in use by wargamers and hobbyists before the development of Dungeons & Dragons.

In 1963 it was used in naval wargaming situations by the US Naval War College. Although, these only had the numbers from 1 to 10 instead of 1 to 20 and were used in pairs as percentile dice.

Also, twenty-sided dice marked 0-9 were adopted in a limited capacity by hobby wargamers in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
