Buying dice colors with Hoyle bucks? Does anyone know how to enable the option to buy different colored dice (in the games that have dice) with Hoyle bucks?

Go to Hoyle Bucks in the Game Items section, and continue to scroll through the items until you see the items for sale that you can't see beforehand. In other words, the "invisible" items. Click "Buy" or "Purchase" next to each one of these, and you'll have all of your colored dice. I also was interested in using the colored dice, but after trying each of these different colors, I personally decided that the white and cream colored dice were the best looking ones, even though they were the colors already unlocked to use when I first installed the game. The various colors such as red, green, purple, and other ones didn't make the Zilch game any more entertaining to play. By the way, does your "Help and Strategy" section work at all? When I click on that, nothing happens.

If your students know their facts well, yes. They have to know various ways to make a particular "sum" with the dice they have rolled. You could certainly modify the game using 2 or 3 dice and just have them add or subtract the numbers they roll. It's more of a competitive game kind of like Boggle, except you have to be the first to use your dice to reach the sum on the white die ( die? dye?) does that make since?

I've purchased these dice and they are a very nice quality. I believe they came in a plastic bag, not sorted by color. I counted out the ten colors- there was one extra. I put them all in an 8x5x2.5 lock & lock type storage container. There's plenty of room for the 77 Ways to Play Tenzi also. It's easy to grab from the shelf. As far as not wanting to search for colors- how about putting each color in a small snack size ziplock and then putting them all in the storage container? Can't get easier than that!

Hi! That depends on what sort of games you play. I currently have 2 because I love to play scenario-based games and use variable point games between 150 and 450 each. I bought two of them at once because I knew I wanted to have at least 6 t/f and 3 x-w. So is more cost effective to buy 2 core sets and the remaining ships separated (to get the unique pilots and habilities). Bottom-line is that you need at least 1 x-w and 1 t/f expansion as long as the core set if you want the cool pilots, so if you test the game and like it I would recommend you to get a copy of each first. But if you already have one of each and want to increase your fleet size I would totally recommend getting another core for price, extra dice and spares (plus the cool box). I hope it helped! May the force be with you!

I think the best option is blank dice and a black sharpie. You can get 25 blank dice on Amazon for $10.

Hi Lisa, I know it is sad to say and I hate to say it but there is no way, it is completely random, 1 in five chance of receiving any of the colors. They are all shipped with same SKU blind to color. We are considering doing a male vs. female listing where we break up two sets of colors, perhaps Blue, Green, and Red on one listing and Pink and Purple assorted on another, or perhaps create a listing for each color. It would be a project. It is against policy to return until you get the color you want or I would suggest it. There is a listing on Amazon for just a Green/Yellow one: B00I3SNFSA. But we are not selling that one and it seems you really want blue. Yours, Prime Shipping Direct.

It does not. All the dice have pictures only. (I guess exception would be '?' Symbol). Instructions are in English and other languages (but it's not in front of me now so not sure which languages). Of course you could always just send a note with the directions in the required language. Great game I think would fit all cultures.

I bought 2 sets. Out of both there was only 11 pip (non numbers just dots). The rest (all 200+) were all numbered dice that you'd expect to see at a gaming table

I found some small striped buttons at a local craft shop. At five cents each, it was not too expensive to grab 100 of them. We use them for all our Steve Jackson dice games and often play high score in a set time instead of to just 13 brains. I've seen bags of 25 or 50 tiny buttons at the big box stores for under three dollars.

Nothing! In fact, I was disappointed in this edition since the company makes an actual travel version which we had at one time, but lost. In the actual travel version, the dice are captured in a hand held cylinder which allows them to tumble when rolled against the hand and then traps them one at a time by snapping the back of the compartment holding the die in place. It is very cool! I kept looking till I found the true travel version. I kept it to give as a gift, since it is a favorite game.

Dear GunRunner, Thank you for your email. You can either choose the color upon placing the order or informed us if you have already placed an order. Thank you and we look forward to serve you.

Every vendor is probably going to have different copies of the game. It is most likely the fourth edition but you would have to ask the individual sellers not those who have already bought it.

Probably. Per the kickstarter they finally got their shipment in of the base game. Mine is due to arrive any day now. You can always double-check with the seller, who is also the publisher, to be sure. The way to tell, once you have it, is if the game board is double-sided with rocket-shaped dice spots on one side, and regular 6-sided dice on the other.

Just the book, though your local game store should have lots of fun dice for you to choose from. You can never have too many!

I thought maybe I could outsmart the system by buying four folders at one time. Surely, seeing an order for four...they would naturally know that you'd want four different colors for four different purposes, right?! Yeah, you got it. And I got 3 green and one blue. Anyone interesting in TRADING COLOR folders? I'd be happy to talk offline and trade a green (prefer green, but also blue) for a PURPLE? Any takers? Or anyone want to acquire a green? Kathleen

It depends on what the other 2 dice are. You need to follow the instruction sheets.

I have this game also, and have noticed that red has fewer chips. But I don't know why,I have been wondering myself. Sorry
