Is there a game with components you consider too fiddly?
(Welders from Mazda Motor Corporation in Japan created this metal dice for the "32nd High Quality Metal Products Skills Fair".)
@golgaloth
Gonna need a bunch of these for Shadowrun...
@KiriCanis and a thimble to use as a dice cup.
@golgaloth Roman dodecahedron for the 21st century.
@golgaloth made using the new US science budget
I wonder what its bias is?
Do those stack o’ dimes edges mean it was welded out of sheet? It’s HOLLOW?? @golgaloth
@clew Yep. Welded from six separately shaped pieces, each with the dots on the faces.
@golgaloth
This proves the existence of a TIGlet welder.
To answer the original question, tho - any card or board game that uses tiny icons where they could have used text, or uses the copyrighted "1 point EyeStrain" font when there's all sorts of blank space available. I don't have a good visual memory, so I find myself constantly comparing dumb tiny pictures to a dumb tiny decoder chart. Just stop it, use words in decent sized fonts. And grey on grey should be banned.
@golgaloth the center consumable of the welding torch is, of course, a Tungsteeny.
@PhilSalkie @golgaloth Ahh tiny icons, small typeface, low contrast colours. Welcome to the Modern Eurogame (seriously, designers and publishers, stop this! The art of legibility isn’t a problem to be solved. It has been solved ages ago. How do I know? I did layout in the 90’s on a modern thing called a computer. It was a solved problem back then. Even with the printing technology of the early 90’s! Do better)
