Review on ๐ŸŽฒ Haxtec Antique Dungeons Dragons Games: Unleash Your Adventurous Spirit! by Matthew Kocur

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The quality is pretty good but not amazing

I've never bought metal bones before. but I have to admit I'm a bit disappointed with it. I mistakenly assumed the colored part to be something else, but it's really just a bunch of stickers glued to the sides of the cubes and then covered with varnish or acrylic. The template lacks depth, which I expected based on the product image. I tried to recreate the product image (left) versus the actual product image (right). (Apologies for the lint/lint on the cubes; that's because I wiped them off and are definitely not part of the product.) You can see that what I received just didn't have the same visual impact as the product image Has. I've also included a larger version where you can see the printing process used isn't impressive. The numbers aren't very legible against the background (especially on the d20) and 1 and 7 look very similar due to the font choices (but both I guess mostly because I'm not as young as I used to be). ) However, the feel of the dice game is great. The corners in this set are at least not too sharp/pointy as some others have pointed out. I wouldn't roll them straight onto a nice wood countertop, but other than that I wouldn't worry about them.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Something different
