I've just launched our Australian Block Dice campaign on IndieGoGo, I hope everyone will take a moment to check it out.
We've come up with what we feel are at once uniquely Australian and yet also clearly readable symbols for use as Block Dice. The designs themselves are by the incredibly talented Melvin de Voor, and I think he's done an amazing job transforming our design brief into reality.
The dice themselves are going to be 16mm, rounded edges just like the NAF dice and with screen printed images. This makes them sharp and easy to read, and the print itself is bonded chemically to the plastic of the die making them very hard wearing and impossible to chip.
I feel like the symbols speak for themselves, but for anyone who is still unsure... the Koala Skull is the Skull, the Australia Outline is the Pow, the Australia Outline with Leaf is the Defender Stumbles, the combined Koala Skull and Australia Pow is the Both Down and the Gum Leaves are the Push.
The inital goal is $1250, which includes three colour options:
If we reach our funding target we are going to add a fourth colour:
And from there we have several further goals we'd love to hit:
If we manage to fund Baggy Greens, everyone who supports the project will get a free set of them on top of whatever other gear they are going to receive.
