July 15, 2017 The Surreal Dice Tower is LIVE NOW on Kickstarter starting at $30. Click here to reserve yours today!
I am excited to announce that my wife Erica and I will be launching our first Kickstarter project soon in June 2017! We are combining our love for tabletop gaming and surreal art! What is a dice tower? A dice tower is an object used by gamers to roll dice fairly. Dice are dropped into the top of the tower, and bounce off of various hidden platforms inside it before emerging from the front. Dice towers eliminate some methods of cheating which may be performed when rolling dice by hand. A Roman dice tower artifact called, Vettweiss-Froitzheim dates back to 4th century! There are many forms of towers and they vary in construction and design. This dice tower was inspired by late visionary surrealist artist Zdzisław Beksiński's amazing architectural paintings. All of his works are fantastic and we hope to raise enough money in the campaign to produce a limited run of these dice towers at an affordable price and travel to the Zdzisław Beksiński museum in Sanok, Poland. I absolutely love Beksiński's work and must see it in person someday. Working with a factory that produces for companies like Sideshow Toys gives me great confidence on the quality and I can't wait to see our first sample. For updates and more info as it comes, please check out and like our Facebook page.
Thanks!

The Surreal Dice tower is; 7.5" tall x 6.5" wide x 4.25" deep and made of Poly Resin that is cast in a semi-soft material making it extremely durable. It fits standard size 12mm and 16mm dice for D&D and other table top games. Sorry, dice not included.
