Chessex Dice Boot

So I get this in the mail today... it is disassempled when you receive it and comes in a package you wouldn't expect. I looked at it and said you gotta be kidding me! So I put it together and had the second thought of "way smaller than I expected". Was getting ready to be dissapointed until I dropped some dice in it. Worked great... had a great "feel" and sound and I realized the small size was a benefit as it wouldn't take up much space on the board game table. After the dice are rolled it is easy to lift it up to move it and the dice stay on the table for easy retrieval. I am going to order another for the other side of the game table.

Pleasently effective.

I had read that this dice boot was small, but I wasn't quite prepared for how small it is. The opening at the top (where the dice go in) is only about 2.5" x 2.5"---small enough so that you have to deposit the dice somewhat carefully. And then the tray where the dice land (it's more of a corral, since there is no bottom) is only about 2.5" x 3.25", which means it's not easy to scoop the dice up. Another reviewer suggested it was nice to be able to pick the boot up and gather the dice off the table, but mine doesn't stand up to that kind of repeated handling. It holds together well enough in use, but if you repeatedly pick it up again and again, once in a while one panel or another will fall off.

While it's true that a lot of dice will slide down the chute, and the boot does a good job tumbling the dice, getting the dice in the chute in the first place isn't the easiest. Not the best for bigger dice or large numbers of dice.

This is a good dice tumbler.After I put this together, the panels where loose and you need to be careful picking it up or may come apart.Only wish the pieces fit together tighter.Other than that, it does it's job well.

The dice boot arrives unassembled, but with the included instructions it is very easy to put together and doesn't take more than a few minutes to do so. Each baffle slides into place securely and the front and back plates prevent the dice boot from coming apart. When it is assembled, the dice boot is sturdy and secure, and there's no problem with rolling plenty of dice, picking up the boot to move the dice out of the way, and setting the boot down again without it starting to fall apart.

The dice boot allows you to roll a large amount of dice at once. I believe Pizza Box Football comes with 13 dice, and I was able to send them all down the chute at once.

The stress over thinking you suck at rolling or that your opponent has more skill at rolling dice is removed with the random results of the dice boot.

As for the noise factor, it's not a factor. If it's noisier than rolling by hand, then it's only barely noisier, and that noise lasts a whopping second or two. I happen to enjoy watching the dice tumble through the boot and the sound the dice make. If this is too noisy, I recommend a nice, quiet ipod app.

Taking the dice boot apart is very easy, and the boot lays flat in its original plastic packaging, which snaps closed and stores easily considering it's so thin.

Highly recommended!
