They are much more expensive and come in packs of 5 so I bought a couple packs and if they work well then I guess I’ll get some more. I’m hoping for a more random performance from these casino dice. So tonight I resigned to buying some 19mm foil-wrapped and serialized casino dice from GSE. I tried it but quickly decided I didn’t like it, because it doesn’t have that tactile, visceral feel that draws me to physical boardgames in the first place.
To resolve this problem I first considered using computer dice on my phone or laptop but it wasn’t as satisfying. After noticing this, I did a bunch of rolls comparing my Ebay dice to the oob AA dice and found the AA dice to be marginally better. I have a felt-lined dice rolling tray and these dice seem to be very favorable to landing on 4, 5, and 6. After a bunch of games and a bunch of throws I got the feeling that these dice aren’t so random. So I bought one of those 100 packs of 16mm dice on Ebay, 10 colors of 10 dice each. AA games don’t come with enough dice to roll epic sized battles in one throw.
