Excellent die, excellent value.

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.

These dice are great. I love the fact that the six-sided has numbers instead of pips, making it easier to read when rolled in combination with the others.

The only thing of note is that the four-sided die is much more transparent than the others. It's basically clear while the others are the smoke color described.

I just started playing a modified version of D&D with some people from work, and I figured I would get a set of dice so I didn't have to keep bumming them off of others. This was the right price, and arrived quickly and in good shape. Not much more to say really, there were no scratches on them, and each one rolls well. At this price, I highly recommend these dice.
