Does anyone know a UK retailer who sell those tiny dice to use as hit markers for BKC? I can't see them on eM4, which was my immediate port of call…

Cheers,
Colin

Those "Pirates of the spanish main" card models used to have really small dice in them. I don't know if they still do…

Yes, "Pirates" cards still come with a minuscule die in each pack. Find a Pirates player; either he throws them all out, or he'll have dozens and will be glad to share with you.

Don't know about the U.K. but in the U.S. Hobby Lobby Has bags of them in the do-it-yourself jewlery section.

We tried using the 5mm dice like the ones in the POTSM packs for awhile, and gave up on them as too fiddly. It was way too easy to knock them over etc. We ended up using them as simple hit markers, one die for each hit. At which point we realised it was silly.

I've been looking at 8mm dice, kind of like the old SPI dice as a replacement.

In the meantime, I found some VERY small pompoms at Michaels in a bunch of colors so we've been using those. They are probably 5mm, and the grey, green, black and brown ones are nice and not as much of an eyesore as the little dice were. YMMV.

I got a load of tiny dice from EM4 at Warfare last year, they were right next to us.
Very useful as hit markers in BKC.
Don't seem to be in their shop though – email them for details, cos they do have them…

Irregular.

I always buy a couple handfuls every year at Triples, I must have hundreds by now.

Very useful for all sorts of things.
