How to Take Proper Care of Your Dice

Welcome to the fabulous world of dice care, where small plastic, metal, and gemstone companions are treated like royalty and reside in luxurious homes! Whether you're new to the world of dice or a seasoned dice veteran, this guide will help you keep your dicey friends in top condition, ensuring they always stay by your side and contribute to epic gaming experiences.

And how does it work in detail?

  1. Dice Palaces: How to Pamper Your Premium Dice with Luxurious Homes (Proper Storage)

The right housing is essential for the well-being of your precious dice. Treat them to a fancy dice bag, box, or case, where they are safe from scratches, dents, and other mishaps. Look for materials like soft fabric, fine leather, or even padded plastic containers that provide your dice with the necessary protection.

Especially gemstone or glass dice tend to have diva tendencies and can get jealous easily. It's not uncommon for the D20 to give its roommates the cold (and hard) shoulder... So, store your dice separately to prevent any quarrels or at least in a way that they don’t bump into each other. When dice are loose, they can rub against one another during transport, leading to unsightly scratches, particularly with sharp-edged dice.

Our World of Dice dice cases are the perfect solution for this. Many of our premium dice already come with a protective case, but it’s worth checking out our wider range of products for even more options.

2. The Noble Knights of the Dice World: Handling Metal and Gemstone Dice (Rolling Individually)

Metal, gemstone and glass dice are the true beauties among dice, but their fine materials or heavier weights make them more susceptible to damage than their sturdy plastic siblings. Handle them with care and avoid dropping them on hard surfaces. (You can find suitable dice mats with us that cushion the impact.)

Also, try not to roll them against each other but ideally one at a time—they have a bit of rivalry, and their epic duels can result in scratched or chipped dice.

Another tip: Especially with sharp-edged dice, rolling them in a cup can unleash unexpected forces on the edges, so it’s not recommended.

Du hast es sicher schon bemerkt: Würfel sind wahre Sauberkeitsfanatiker. Fett, Dreck und allerlei Unrat von deinen Händen können sie ganz schön aus der Fassung bringen und sogar verfärben. Aber keine Sorge, wir haben da einen pfiffigen Tipp für dich: Wasch einfach deine Hände vor dem Spielen und putze deine Würfel regelmäßig mit einem kuscheligen Tuch. Kinderspiel, oder?

Sollte ein Würfel sich mal auf Abwege begeben und in den Kaffee statt ins Würfelbecherchen plumpsen, dann hilft eine sanfte Reinigung mit lauwarmem Wasser. Bei besonders hartnäckigem Bleistiftstaub hat sich übrigens ein kleiner Schuss Shampoo bewährt! Aber Vorsicht: Lösungsmittel (vor allem Aceton) sind der Erzfeind der Würfelwelt! Um Frieden im Würfelreich zu wahren, solltest du diese beiden niemals zusammenbringen.

4. Würfel-Akrobatik: So rettest du Tisch und Würfel vor dem Absturz! (Würfelarenen)

You’ve probably experienced this: you're rolling your fancy premium dice across wooden or glass tables, and suddenly—BAM!—one loses its balance and falls into the abyss. To prevent such nerve-wracking situations, we highly recommend using a dice tray, play mat, or at the very least, a soft cloth. This creates a safe runway for your rolling friends and protects both your furniture and dice from unpleasant encounters. 

You can find a wide range of dice mats here in our shop!

And if you still decide to juggle heavy metal dice on a glass table, at least make sure to have a camera rolling. Who knows, your stunt might become the next viral hit! ;)

5. The Four-Legged Dice Hunters: Protecting Your Dice from Curious Pets (Keep Away from Animals)

Your dice may stand strong against orcs, dragons, and demons, but they are defenseless against the sneaky attacks of our fluffy housemates. Dogs and cats, in particular, may go on a hunt for these shiny treasures, claiming them as prey or, worse, swallowing them as a tasty treat!

To ensure peaceful coexistence between your dice and your furry family members, you should store them in a safe place, away from curious noses and claws. Whether it’s in a locked drawer, a dice box on a high shelf, or a secret treasure chest—what matters is that they’re safe from the everyday adventures of your pets.

With this strategy, you not only protect your dice from unexpected damage but also prevent your beloved pets from snacking on dangerous dice. This way, peace will reign in both the dice and animal kingdoms!

6.A Serious Appeal: Protect Young Children from Dice!

While we like to keep things lighthearted in our guides, here’s a very important and serious warning:

Although your dice may triumph over dangerous creatures and wicked villains in-game, they can pose a potential risk to our curious young children in the real world. The colorful, sparkling dice can easily attract the attention of our youngest family members, tempting them to put the dice in their mouths or use them as toys.

To protect our inexperienced adventurers and brave little explorers, it’s important to store your dice collection in a safe and out-of-reach place. Whether in a locked drawer, a dice box on a high shelf, or a secret hiding spot—the main thing is to keep your dice away from little exploring hands.

By keeping your dice out of reach of young children, you prevent them from chewing on the small, colorful dice or, worse, choking on them. A peaceful coexistence between the dice realm and the toddler group is the goal!

High-quality polyhedral dice sets are a truly magical investment in your role-playing adventure. By casting the right spells of care and maintenance, you can ensure that they remain in top condition for years to come. With careful storage, cleaning, and handling, you not only protect your valuable dice but also elevate your gaming experience to a new level. We hope these tips help you enjoy your dice as loyal companions in your role-playing adventures for a lifetime!

So, into the battle and happy critting!
