In Response To: Meyer Dice Tube (revisited) (Bill Riles)

Certainly there is always going to be personal preference and everyone is entitled to that. I like black licorice.

Looking to the side of the board at the dice never even occurred to me to be an inconvenience.

The most logical reason (as opposed to preference) I've been given by anyone so far about why they did not want to play with the dice tube was by Rory. He declined because use of the tube sped up the game. He felt that because he knows that he has a tendency to rush his plays that the tube perpetuated that tendency for rapid play, while shaking and rolling gave him a way to slow down the pace which helped him to also slow down his decision making.

  • This seems to be an improvement, but I still prefer to roll dice, either onto the board or thru a baffle box
