Turning Heroscape Display Boxes into a DiceTower

While you're out hunting Wave 6 boosters, see if you can snag some display boxes as well (in my experience a simple request will get you one...if you can bear the "ok, whatever Geek-boy" look).

In a few simple steps you can turn it into a workable dice tower.

I'll try to post some step-by-step instructions soon....

I don't have a picture of the inside, but yes there are "floors" or "shelves" or whatever you want to call them to make the dice tumble...made from pieces of the bottom.

The cool thing about this is that it is made entirely from one display box and uses almost every scrap of it. The only part that is from a different source is the patttern on the floor of the area where the dice come out. That is from the backing of a RttFF set.

perhaps hasbro will begin printing instructions on future releases as a sort of "bonus?"

I'm really kicking myself for discarding those neat little character drawings from the fronts of the boosters, but with what I DO have, I'm definitely going to do this, thanks for the idea!

Small compared to the more professionaly prepared Dice Towers, but still large enough for the dice to roll out and for you to see the results.

I originally came up with this as a prototype for a tournament prize, but have used a little now and really like it.

yea but they could hit the end and roll into sumthin else or hit another one and change that die. Im not saying its bad or anything its just too small for me. Great job none the less.

You say that like the ones we have now don't do that. The dice aren't done rolling until they all stop. If one is on a shield, and you have a straggler who hits that die and changes it, then you're SOL.


I want an Imax tower...
