Chessex makes awesome dice, and while I wanted to hand-pick a bunch that were up my alley, it was pretty pricey to do it that way. This pack of "factory seconds" doesn't compromise the coolness I was hoping for. Every one of my 134 dice is usable - some have obvious blemishes but with most of them I can't even find what's supposedly wrong with it. For the price, this is an excellent assortment, but your are at the mercy of which ever line had the most problems this week. My pack was heavy on purple swirlies with gold pips. I left a picture of my set in customer pictures.

Our family plays a lot of FillOrBust and we all like to use our own set of dice. These dice will be the hit of the game - many different colors. There were a few small ones, and one very large one, but most were standard size. I definitely think the Pound of Dice is a good value.

From this pound of dice, I was able to sort out 5 color-matched sets of liars dice, each set a different color. These went into the camping box. I could have made extra sets of cream colored dice, but didn't. I did set aside another five dice for the house. These dice were all standard size.
I then made two sets of 8 Parcheesi dice, from a group of smaller, marbelized dice. Pretty cool. When that was done, I took the rest of the dice (about 70) and took them to school. As a science teacher, I am always using dice.
All of the dice have slightly rounded edges as well as rounded corners. I would definitely buy this Pound-O-D6 again if I needed lots of dice where they didn't have to match.

I am a kindergarten teacher and I bought this toy for my classroom. I originally put it in a math center with no directions for exploratory play. The kids LOVED these dice. They often used them for stacking and building towers and were very drawn to the fun colors. They are extremely popular in my class and the students are always interested and motivated when we play dice games in math... a favorite. I took away one star on my rating because a few of mine were missing numbers on one side or more. Still a great value for the money even though.

The dice are very high quality and were loads of fun to hand out to friends of mine that also needed a random assortment of dice.

The other posters covered this product well. I received about 113 full sized dice in various colors. They had nicely rounded edges and roll well. I also received 1 small and 1 larger than normal die. Gaming dice are normally pretty expensive, this is a great deal compared to buying individually...especially if you just need a ton of dice for a game.

purchased for the office christmas party so we could play bunco. the variety of the dice made it fun for all. easy to order, shipped and received on time

A very interesting package for gamers who love variety and fun. The purchase was smooth and arrived very timely, I would recommend them to any one.

I needed some dice for a backgammon game I have. There's tons of different dice to this bag. The majority of them are almost perfect. Every now and then you find a defective one but I highly recommend this for anyone who loses dice.

So my original goal was to purchase a few sets of 5 colored dice each to round out my liar's dice set, but felt that to get as many different colors as I wanted it would cost me more than I wanted to spend. After finding this item I figured I would take a chance and not get too hung up on what colors I actually received.

I ended up receiving a total of 105 dice (uploaded a photo of my set), of which 83 are the standard 16mm size (which is what I wanted). I got 22 each of plain white and translucent red and was able to put together a few other matching sets of 5 with the remaining. Didn't get all the colors I originally wanted (no orange, dangit!) but in the end I have some pretty cool colors that I wouldn't have thought to purchase otherwise and a whole ton of extras in case some go missing.

For the price you can't really beat the number of dice you receive (though I received less than the advertised number). Just be forewarned that if you have very specific requirements for what you want, this is not the item for you. I have no idea what I am going to do with the non-standard sized dice (especially the giant pink one) but ultimately am happy with the purchase.
