Carthage Must Be Destroyed: Fleur-de-lys Tabletop Game Dice Kickstarter!


Carthage Must Be Destroyed: Fleur-de-lys Tabletop Game Dice - D6 dice engraved with Fleur-de-lys. Built for Wargaming, Boardgames, and Tabletop. For this project the goal is to gather funding to release a series of dice that capture the essence of the French Fleur-de-lys (sometimes spelled fleur-de-lis). The fleur-de-lys symbol is well-known and can often be seen associated with historical French heraldry, banners, sports teams, and various other holidays and events. I felt that it would be awesome to create a set of stylized dice and honour this historical image. These dice will be useful for wargaming as well as other tabletop and boardgames.

Since most wargames and boardgames tend to use the common six sided dice (D6) I decided to stick with the basic six sides and not try to overcomplicate the style or design of the dice. Each dice is practical, has a light weight and is made of plastic, just like your normal white six sided dotted dice. A single die weighs about 4-5 grams. Size wise, every dice side is 15mm which allows for a handful to be rolled for those games that require multiple dice rolls. Furthermore, I have stuck with a simple design for both the engraving of each Fleur-de-lys and how they are placed on each face of the dice. In the centre each face has the standard 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and at each corner surrounding the number sits a highly vibrant Fleur-de-lys. I rolled with this style (sorry for the pun) because I feel dice with this sort of stylistic facings are easier to read and also have a pleasing aesthetic on the gaming table. There are two styles of dice to choose from and a third unlockable option! Check them out on Kickstarter today! Thank you!
