Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Rules:

Play nicely with others here.
Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

I had to polish the dice myself (more involved than just zona). ETA: The site is jlcpcb.com

I've had metal d20s that I had to stop using because they left divots on my dinner table 😅

Look into dice trays, put some sacrificial wood between your table and the dice. All the nice sounds, none of the unintentional damage.

We used, as I said above, a PU (PVC? I don't know, I'm not a polymer expert) sheet the same size as the table to protect the glass under it. 1.5mm is all you need, it rolls up nicely to set aside, and you can put maps and stuff under it to keep it visible but protected.

And the metal dice won't shatter your tabletop like one evil d10 did mine. 😬
