The last word in polyhedral dice!Sep 06, 2008 So these are very nice dice. They are manufactured to a very high standard of quality somewhere in Germany.
Looking closely at the dice, one can tell that the swirls of plastic that make up the pattern known as "scarab" are actually being viewed beneath a thin coat of clear plastic resin. Beautiful.
When looking closely at the numbers on the facets, the paint filling the numbers never crosses out onto the surrounding surface.
These dice have an excellent fit and finish.
I rated the durability a three out of five. You might consider them a five out of five as they are no less durable than any other dice made from plastic resin that I have ever touched.
The 3 out of 5 durability rating is due to the possibility of scuffing the surface of such beautifully made dice. If the dice weren't so gorgeous, then I wouldn't mind so much if they got a little scuffed. The surfaces are actually quite durable when facing normal use. Not that I'm doing anything abnormal with these dice...
Anyway, I'm very impressed with these dice.
Oh yeah, and educational factor... well, they're platonic solids. At least I think five of the six shapes are (sorry d10 and d 10%) so that's gotta count for something. They are also an effective tool in the generation of random numbers. The educational value one receives from these is more dependent on the beholder.
