Our take
Twelve standard dice: white, with black pips, 16 mm on a side. That is all you need for Farkle, Pig, Bunco and a dozen other games, and it is the cheapest way into the hobby.
Standard dice roll evenly and read at a glance. Twelve gives you enough for two people to roll at once, for Bunco's three-dice tables, and for the one that rolls under the sofa.
If you want a cup and a score pad in the box, look at the Farkle or Yahtzee sets. If you are happy with a cup from the kitchen and our free score sheets, this is enough.
