Have you been thinking of dice? I am talking about the ones with 6 sides! My
thoughts went in direction 8-, 10-, 12-, 20-siders. Maybe you can borrow
some from a friend to try out. I would do this if I could (using the 8459) -
but I lent mine away (and they are far too expensive to buy, just for a try
if you have no use for them afterwards).
If dice are too big or you just don't like them: Do you know those "chips"
they use with parcels. They are not to big (what dimensions do you think of?
As small as 1x1bricks?), they are light and they do not make a mess.....
