http://ctan.org/pkg/ucharclasses shows that the license of the package is
"nonfree" and TeXLive team do not add "nonfree" packages to TeXLive.

You either use a loop to activate the up to 128 characters or you use
a font with Cherokee script and characters support to type Cherokee.

Hi,
I think, no package is needed as long as you have an appropriate font:
The die faces are located in unicode at the codepoints u+2680 to u+2685,
so you only need to input these characters into your document or type
\char"2680 and so on.
