Looking thru old game catalog for out-of-business internet reseller and there is listed under Play+Design Aids category a product called Pandora's Dice Wheel.
It apparently represents 8 different dice,including 100-sided.

Anyone know about this? Is it still available somewhere?
Or is there something similar that is available?

Thx,
Mark

My eldest daughter is called Pandora – I'll ask her…

Has she got a soppy friend named Adrian?

$85 USD for a glorified spinner???

I'll do dice, thanks.

Greatest gaming aid since the D100!

It looks to be a fun if not practical collectors item. We still have problems with the spinner in The Game of Life.

My local game store has a die which rolls every other standard poly-hedral die type – on one die with the same probability of the original die type. I don't know if it did d100 or not.

How retro…..

Only ever saw one of those in a shop in Sydney (anyone out there remember the hobby shop in the old Angel Arcade?).

I already had too many polyhedrals then.

Anyone notice the $14.95 USD price tag on the box?

It does not to D66 ;-)

You mean for a mere $85 USD I can replace my $5 USD set of polyhedral dice? Cool.

Umm, hang on a sec.

Thanks for the info--$95 a little too much for me.

The Pandora is sold out

Just like the Dragonbone .. which I am still seeking :)

Never would have thought I would have wanted something like this .. oh so many years ago .. when I could not even afford $14.95 USD

I was about to say, I remember meeting the owner of that company years ago. That wheel was only $15 USD bucks then.

Couldn't you make one with the Nuclear War spinner and a fancy print program?
