Modular Dice Tower | Mechanical Wooden Device for Tabletop Games | Ugears Games Collection

Welcome to the birthplace of all Ugears mechanical models:

Introducing: Modular Dice Tower – your new indispensable board game accessory. A clever adaptable model from Ugears Games collection will take your gaming experience to a new level.

The Modular Dice Tower model is comprised of four dice cups. Individually, the dice cups can serve the quartet of gamers in their quest. No more running after a runaway die or crawling under the table searching for the game piece that jumped off the edge. Just put your dice inside a small cubical box and give it a good shake. Put your dice cup back on the table and simultaneously push the buttons on the sides. This will release the bottom of the box with your dice sitting in it. Now it is time to make your move!

If you gathered more than four friends around the gaming table or want to use the same set of dice for all players, the model offers a great solution. Each of the modules has detachable details. Reorganize them in accordance with the detailed instruction manual that comes with the model and you will have a single multistoried Dice Tower. You won’t need any extra details – every component will find its place. You are ready to roll your dice!
Of course, you are not limited to four blocks. Two sets of this 3D puzzle will give you an eight-storied Dice Tower and twice as much fun!

Made from sustainable wooden materials the Modular Dice Tower kit has all you need for assembly: a set of high-quality plywood boards with precisely cutout parts, full-color, detailed step by step, truly easy to follow instructions in 11 languages (English, Ukrainian, German, French, Polish, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, Italian, Chinese and Korean) and several spare parts inside. No glue and special tools are needed for putting the Dice Tower together. You can assemble it at home on the table. Fits together like a puzzle without glue or special tools or even toothpicks thanks to Ugears’ patented joints.

A pretty good model, although a bit repetitive to build. You build the dice cups the exact same way 4 times before you assemble the tower, but it does provide a few good stopping points. I've also built models in the past that have included a poke stick, to help push parts out of the sheet. One wasn't included here, but I used a leftover one from a previous set. Be sure to wax the mechanical parts, as instructed, for best results. A stick of wax was included for this, but a tea candle works as well. If you want to get a feel for how the parts break free from the sheet, maybe try start by pushing out some of the spare parts first, or start with the included mini-build (a 0-99 dial counter).

The tower itself looks pretty good, and the mechanical function (the flicking lids) is addictive to look at. I've found myself dropping dice down it casually, just to see it work. It's also modular, so you can make the tower shorter, or even make two identical towers.
Only complaint is the width of the catch tray. It handles 2-3 dice fine, but trying to drop 5 dice at once (like in a game of yahtzee) occasionally results in them spilling out the edges. Forget trying something like Tenzi (10 dice) with it. I know it's meant for DnD, but even my parents, who only play casual games, were impressed by it. I could see it working with any board game.

If you want to customize it further, painting should be viable. If you paint it pre-assembly, you'll need to sand the connection joints. Sandpaper is included. Paint is not. I'd recommend painting after it's been completed.

Overall, I'd recommend it as both a model to build, and a functional gaming accessory. The build was relaxing, especially once I got to the 3rd and 4th cup, where I knew the process. The final product will be a good talking point when I break it out during game night. It'll either be used as 4 dice cups, 2 towers, or one large tower, depending on the game.
