An idea is: is it possible to make an electronic die to go with this board
game (or any other board game, of course)? It has to be made out of LEGO
elements only.

I’m sure it is possible to make an electronic die out of either the RCX or
NXT, but a much simpler solution is to go low-tech and simply buy some of
these. There are a
couple other standard six-sided dice (red with white dotes, white with black
dots, white with black numbers), but the one with the hook hand is much more
likely to have been specifically designed for a LEGO set. It’s also possible
to brick-build a large 6-sider, but the ones I designed turned out to be
extremely fragile, and would burst if they landed on a hard surface.

Thank you for your reply. I have standard die, of course (you can see it in the
photos). I also have an electronic die (Conrad item number 195111
(www.conrad.de)). The main reasons why I would like to have an electronic
version out of LEGO elements are:
1. when a child is asleep there is no nose produced when a die hits the table
2. plastic/wooden die that comes with an official LEGO set (LUDO for example) is
‘not’ an element that a person would expect from TLG - they make bricks, not
dice.
In this way my Modular LUDO could be complete with *REAL* LEGO elements.
Regards,
Saso
