NEWS – Many games require the player to roll dice to advance a turn. If you find the action of dice rolling to be difficult for you either because you have dexterity issues, or you just don’t want to do it yourself, these dice will do it for you. Boogie Dice look like a standard set of 6-sided dice, but looks are deceiving. Inside these dice are rechargeable motors and microphones that listen for you to clap your hands, bang the table, or snap your fingers. When they detect one of these sounds, they will jump, flip, and roll all by themselves.
Boogie Dice come with their own wireless charging platform and are priced at $49.99 for a set in either black or white. Head over to boogiedice.com for more info or to order.

Just press lightly on the dome and the dice will roll. The price is around $2, no batteries needed and it will last for decades.
Complex modern technical solutions are not always better than stuff invented half a century ago 🙂
Good point Robert! Your solution isn’t quite as magical, but definitely much more economical 🙂
I have to wonder about the balance here – since there’s an off-center motor, does that affect the chances of rolling a particular result?
DStaal, that’s a good question. I didn’t even consider that.
After a few bad rolls, someone is bound to complain that the results were not perfectly random.
