The modern tabletop gaming enthusiast has a lot of dice to carry around, so it might as well be done in style. Instead of a simple box or some nondescript bag, why not store your polyhedrons of choice in a wooden case resembling a 30-year-old piece of electronics?

This beautifully handcrafted dice tray is made out of poplar, stained to the classic gray of the original Game Boy with accents of purple heartwood and ebony, in honor of its 30 year anniversary. Inside the lid is a cross-stitched tableau of beloved Game Boy characters, done in the classic pea soup green colors. A magnetic latch holds the lid tight, ensuring your dice make it to their destination safely.

Donate $9.89, or multiples thereof ($19.78, $29.67 etc.) until 11:45PM PST to be in with a chance of winning!
