Let $R$ be a rectangular region of the integer lattice $\mathbb{Z}^2$,
each of whose unit squares is labeled with a number
in $\lbrace 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 \rbrace$. 
Say that such a labeled $R$ is *die-rolling Hamiltonian*,
or simply *rollable*,
if there is a Hamiltonian cycle obtained by rolling a unit die
cube over its edges so that, for each square $s \in R$,
the cube lands on $s$ precisely once, and when it does so,
the top face of the cube matches the number in $s$.
For example, the $4 \times 4$ "board" shown below
is rollable.

> <b>Q</b>. Is it true that, if $R$ is die-rolling Hamiltonian, then the
Hamiltonian cycle is unique, i.e., there are never two distinct
die-rolling Hamiltonian cycles on $R$?

This "unique-rollability"
question arose out of a problem I posed in 2005, and was largely
solved two years later, in a paper entitled,
"On rolling cube puzzles" (complete citation below;
the $4 \times 4$ example above is from Fig. 17 of that paper).
Although the original question involved computational complexity,
the possible uniqueness of Hamiltonian cycles is independent
of those computational issues, so I thought it might be useful
to expose it to a different community, who might bring
different tools to bear.
It is known to hold for $R$ with side lengths at most 8.
If not every cell of $R$ is labeled, and unlabeled cells are forbidden
to the die, then there are examples with more than one Hamiltonian cycle.

<b>Edit1</b>. Rolling a regular tetrahedron on the equilateral triangular (hexagonal) lattice
is not as interesting.  See the Trigg article cited below.

<b>Edit2</b>.
Serendipitously, *gordon-royle* posted a perhaps(?) relevantly related
question:
"[Uniquely Hamiltonian graphs with minimum degree 4][1]."
Note my rollable graphs are regular of degree 4, except around the boundary.
