We all love rolling dice and getting a high number. We just don't love what most dice do to the planet. So we made a better math rock: dice carved from bamboo.
Every kind of dice on the market has a catch. Pick your poison:
The most common dice out there. They don't biodegrade, so every set you ever lose under the couch sticks around basically forever.
Verdict: lame.Awesome to roll, no question. But mining and smelting metal pumps carbon into the atmosphere, and that isn't fun for anyone.
Verdict: heavy (on the planet).Biodegradable, which is great. Then you check the price. Nice wooden sets can run around $90.
Verdict: WHO is paying $90 for dice?!"I just want to love rolling dice again!" *falls to the floor*
A new way to roll your math rocks. Made for board games and tabletop RPGs, with all the fun and none of the guilt.
Bamboo is naturally light, so the dice are light, sleek, and super nice to roll.
Bamboo's tough outer shell makes it a seriously sturdy material.
Fast-growing, renewable, and biodegradable. Made from 100% natural bamboo.
Bamboo costs less than wood or metal, so our dice cost less too. That's the part that actually matters.
It's made of bamboo (obviously). We carve it into dice the same way wooden dice are made. Here's the whole process, drawn by us:
Locally sourced in China, the world's biggest bamboo producer.
Stalks get split into flat bamboo planks.
Electronic carvers cut the planks into perfect cubes.
Edges get sanded smooth and sealed with natural resin. Done dice!
Worried about cutting down too much bamboo? Don't be. We replant what we cut, and some bamboo species can grow around 20 ft in a week, reaching full height in about two months. That's some crazy speed.
Great question, sarcastic customer. Eco-friendly, lightweight, nice in your hand, and cheaper than everything else? That's mass appeal.
Typical prices for popular dice sets we found online. Your mileage may vary, but ours stays at $7.
No wooden or metal set we found online costs less.
