I’ve been wanting to make a dice tower for gaming and have been researching some ideas and designs. I came across the excellent “break down” magnetic dice towers made by wyrmwoodgaming.com and thought I’d give it a try. It was a fun quick build which is surprisingly satisfying to click together and take apart. Next I need to made a matching tray to both catch the dice and store the tower once disassembled.
The tower features an interpretation of the “Elendil” flag from Lord of the Rings on the front and a D&D Dragon “And” symbol on the lower back.

Great design, but you got me wondering – Could I increase my chances of winning by loading the dice with some iron filings? LOL Thanks for posting.
Come on, you know Orcs are cheaters and those people on Game of Thrones will do anything to get ahead. :)

Leaf – I like your idea! I think I need to build the dice tray with a magnetic bottom and then have all the 1’s stick down :-)

I’d been thinking of making a dice try for gaming, but I had never thought of the tower. And to design one that breaks down and fits IN the tray!? Very cool!
