So you gotta give them an assertive shake and throw. I get good rolls with these tools but the sharp edged 19mm casino dice definitely don’t roll as readily as the round edged 16mm dice do. I have a good quality felt board and dice cups to roll with. I’m thinking of getting a yellow set next. The red is a strong ruby and the blue is a deep sapphire. They do seem to roll more randomly than the cheap 16mm dice (not oob) I was using previously. My set of 19mm precision serialized casino dice arrived a couple days ago and I’ve been playing with them.

Are you satisfied with the performance of the oob dice? Do you source dice from other places?ĭoes anyone here use casino dice, and what are your thoughts on their performance?ĭoes anyone here prefer to use computer dice when doing IRL physical AA boardgames? I see lots of oob dice usage in AA games on YouTube. 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.
