12x D6 16mm Dice - Clear Red/Yellow

12x D6 16mm Dice - Clear Red/Yellow

Transparent six-sided dice in the larger format with a 16 mm edge, in a red and yellow build from Green Stuff World. The figure 12x in the name gives the number of pieces in the set. Against the more common 12 mm dice it is a noticeably larger piece, which both holds and reads better.

When a roll should be visible across the whole table

A 16 mm die has a noticeably larger face area and therefore larger values too. That helps in two situations. The first is a game on a large table, where a fellow player sits far away and should see the result without standing up. The second is using a die as a counter, where it is not rolled but lies by a unit showing a state. In both cases the larger format pays off more than a larger number of small dice. The smaller number of pieces in the set matches the fact that dice this large are rolled a few at a time rather than by the handful.

Use at the gaming table

• Rolls readable even from the opposite side of the table
• Using a die as a counter for a unit's state
• Playing with fellow players who do not get on with small dice
• A companion to a larger set of smaller dice
• Usable for board games and role-playing games as well

Who it is for

For players who find values harder to read on 12 mm dice, for games on large tables, and for anyone who uses dice as state indicators at the same time. It also suits a gift for a game someone already has at home.
