Yes, in BrE. There are still some who insist that 'die' is the singular form, 'dice' the plural. Most of those who touch such things, however, play with one dice or two dice.Can we say "a" dice?

I agree. Remember, however, that in such expressions as 'the die is cast' (from the Latin 'alea jacta est') only 'die' is possible.This is so comforting. A die sounds so... morbid. Dice seems to come more naturally, I don't know why though.

Not all "dies" are morbid!
I am American, and if I heard someone say that they rolled a "dice," I would think them ill-educated. "Dice" is plural.
Same here.I die/dice but don't feel strongly either way.

Roll the die
Roll the dice
The dice is cast...?
I think the die is cast refers to stamping metal, not dice
