This is Yet Another Dice Tower for board games.
However this one is better! The thing about rolling dice is that you get to feel like you have some control over the outcome, via your rolling. Even though we all know you don't. But it's hard to just intellect away your instincts. Dropping dice through a static tower is certainly a good randomizer but you just don't get the same visceral joy and perceived control as you do when you throw the bones yourself.
So this is the best compromise! It's a dice tower that will fully tumble the dice, however you have a large adjustable dial that you can use to bang, toss, and tweak the roll to your need. The dial controls that angle of attack for an internal shelf. That drastically affects how much the dice bounce and roll internally. No matter what the result is randomized, but you have control over the inputs to the randomization.
Give it a shot!
This is a V1 product. It needs some tweaking.
