A triangular-based prism will typically stack rather than roll. The flat surfaces of the triangular bases allow it to be securely placed on a flat surface, while the edges of the triangle prevent it from rolling easily. Rolling is more associated with shapes like cylinders or spheres, which have a continuous curved surface. Therefore, stacking is the more stable option for a triangular prism.
There's the rectangular prism, the triangular prism, hexagonal prism, pentagonal prism, the cube, and the octagonal prism.
