Never forget to check Thingiverse and other free sites when looking to pick up a design file.
Supporting designers who sell their files is cool, and the one from Etsy does seem more visually appealing. But when your desire is simply “Any dice tower,” there are plenty of options
Now that you mention it, I have an aunt who played backgammon with me when I was a kid. I was thinking shake a day and dice games at the bar for drinks, or in the case of my at the time 6, 7, 8 year old sister to take quarters off of old men. Both are long gone, although I wouldn’t be opposed to a game of backgammon.
That was actually my first stop. The one I chose turned out great. It was designed for 3.2mm materials and the kerf adjustment was perfect. It pressed fit so well, I didn’t even glue it.
Yeah, I used to play backgammon with my grandmother when I was about that age…7 or 8. I remember it being fun, and I liked the dice cup. Before that, I had only used my hand to shake dice. How primitive!
Believe it or not I had never heard of a dice tower before getting on this forum. Never really played board games. Not all that comfortable sitting for hours in the same small room with others.
And because I had never been exposed to a dice tower my first reaction was… Why?
I knew them only through GreyLightning’s videos & the like. A client held an event today that involved participants rolling dice on a relatively small table (long, non-gambling-related story), so a tower seemed to be (and was!) the perfect solution.
