This review is from: Chessex Dice: Polyhedral 7-Die Translucent Dice Set - Teal (Toy)

The following review will be the same for all the differing colors of ChesseX Polyhedral 7-Die Translucent Dice Set.

ChesseX offers eleven (11) different colors of 7-die Polyhedral sets, one of the best selections of gamer dice offered and excellent for each player to have their own distinctive set. I prefer the green, but have a blue set as well. But with so many choices it is easy to pick your favorite or an easy compromise.

I prefer the translucent to solid color die mainly because there is something bout the slightly luminous background of the translucent plastic that sets off the black numbers better, making them easier to read and providing a more pleasant gaming experience.

Accuracy on random number generation is important. I got my undergraduate statistics students to test the ChesseX die with 1,000 throws, and the quality report came back: EXCELLENT. These are die that throw random numbers from their possibility set.

The slightly rounded edges make for clean throws and firm resting stops, although the inherent composition of the plastic makes them bounce pretty easily off a Formica table. These die work better on cloth surfaces.

Just got this dice set along with a purple set.

I must say I like them, they look nice as the translucent material catches shows enough light and background to be noticeable but doesn't make reading the values hard. Exactly what I wanted.

I must say the teal set is not as blue as it looks, it's a bit closer to green. Sure, that's teal for you but the picture is a bit misleading as I bought it based on that. Still close enough for what I wanted and it does its job like any other color, I'm just warning anyone looking for that exact shade of blue.

I also have to say there are some paint smudges. I'm guessing this has something to do with the material as I have a speckled Ninja set from the same brand and they are perfect. Maybe a bad batch or the ink didn't adhere so well and one of the dice smudged another. I'm pretty sure over time the smudges will come off and they aren't set into the dice like the numbers are. The same thing is true for the purple set so I guess it's not specific to the color but maybe it has something to do with the material.

Overall I'm pretty happy and they got here a week before the ETA so I'll be buying from with this supplier again if I need to.

These are now my favorite dice. I Iike this color best of what is available. I lost all my old dice recently ... 30+ years worth. Anyway, today's dice sets have a 10-sided d100.

These sets come in a nice rectangular clear plastic case ... very nice. I like my new dice.
