  1. Like in “Final Frontier”, the manual mentions that no dice were included, yet there was one in the bag. However, it proved to be so small that I couldn’t use it. I’m not sure why a smaller die was used, nor why one was originally left out of the game. A game should contain everything you need to play it. Sure, you could run down to your local dollar store and pick up six dice for a buck or something like that, but the point is, you shouldn’t have to.

    The manual is correct; no dice are supposed to be included. You will need to provide your own. The one(s) that are included are a gift.

    The game comes packaged flat, in a nice poly-bag, and is mailed in a sturdy, protective padded envelope. Now, imagine if we put in a half-dozen 3/4″ solid, square six-sided dice in that package… The postal elephant that sits on all such packages will crush those solid cubes into your paper-and-cardboard game and will have well and truly destroyed it, denting it beyond all use, before it ever arrives at your address.

    If/when this game is available in a boxed format, then including dice will not be a problem. Until then, we can’t have large dice destroying the game in transit.

    • I understand what you are saying, but there are consumers out there that feel that when they purchase something, that all of the components should be there. I feel that it is necessary to inform interested parties of things like this, just so that they know what they are receiving should they drop money on the product.

      Thanks for letting me know that there are boxed versions in the works, I think that they will be received well.
