The Space Dice Rocket: A Precision-Cast Interstellar Experience for Tabletop Gaming
Traditional polyhedral dice have remained largely unchanged for decades, but the 'Space Dice' project by Bear Dice is aiming to launch the tabletop experience into orbit. Inspired by the sleek, aerodynamic contours of modern aerospace engineering—specifically SpaceX’s Starship—this 7-in-1 rotating spinner is more than just a tool for random number generation; it is a desk-sized tribute to interstellar exploration.
Precision Engineering in Zinc Alloy
Weight and feel are paramount for tabletop gamers. The Space Dice unit is constructed entirely from high-grade zinc alloy, delivering a satisfying heft and industrial durability. When seated in its base, the entire rocket stands 160mm tall and weighs a substantial 530g. This solid metal construction ensures that the internal rotating mechanism remains stable and smooth, providing consistent results across thousands of spins.

The 7-in-1 Rotating Spinner Mechanism
The core innovation of the Space Dice is its integrated spinner design. Rather than rolling seven separate loose dice, players rotate the rocket’s fuselage. The unit houses all the standard RPG essentials: D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20, and the Percentile (D%) die. A hand-painted red indicator line provides the clear 'roll' result once the friction-less bearings bring the rotation to a halt. This centralized system eliminates the risk of dice falling off the table or interfering with miniature setups.
Industrial Aesthetics and Customization
The manufacturing process involves precision die-casting, followed by meticulous polishing and assembly to achieve its mirror-like or matte industrial finishes. For those seeking a more personal touch, the project also offers optional personalized laser engraving for names or dates on the rocket body. It is a rare intersection of collectible art and functional gaming equipment, designed for enthusiasts who value aesthetic storytelling as much as mechanics.
Fulfillment and Availability
Currently live on Kickstarter, the Space Dice has already attracted a global audience of backers. Super Early Bird tiers are priced at $108 for two sets, while individual sets are available starting at $59 for Early Bird backers. With production scheduled for the coming months, Bear Dice expects to begin global fulfillment in July 2026, delivering these interstellar rockets just in time for late summer campaigns.
