The four dice supplied with the game just aren't enough. C'mon FFG, what were you thinking? I'm definitely needing to get more dice (and a bigger boat). A small handful for each Investigator seems the way to go. I've already seen posted the maximum number of dice you can expect to roll (wasn't it 15 or so?). My question today is... How many dice do you usually roll? 3-5? 4-6?

Bonus question: Do you prefer the larger Yahtzee sized 16mm dice, because they are easier to read? Or the smaller 12mm size, because you can fit more in your hand?

it was more of complimentary set of dice than anything. I know people with thousands of dice. I prefer the arkham bone dice for Eldritch horror. tres cool.

Depending on the game, the average Eldritch Horror roll for my group hovers around 3-5. Yeah, there are some fun edge cases where you dump all your "Add +5 to Strength Check for combat" to take out a deadly Epic monster, or our magic-user who stacked spells and artifacts to roll 7-8 dice fairly regularly.

That said, nothing stops you from rerolling dice as you go. Set aside successes and reroll failure dice, or just remember what you rolled and roll the 4 dice again until you have rolled enough.

There is only 4 dice with idea to force players buy Bone AH dice after. I did it and really happy about this. AH bone, curse, bless dice perfectly fit EH. So buy it and be happy

I use the Bone dice as well, i bought 2 sets of the standard and one set each of the Bless and Curse. Haven't needed more than that other than once or twice where the bless dice needed rolled more a second time. Otherwise I would use a small brick of 12 dice, or even the 36.

This is my biggest complain about Eldritch Horror. There's just no excuse. It's common to roll five or six dice in a single roll, and seven or eight isn't that unusual. Even then you're going to end up constantly passing dice around the table.

I recommend purchasing a block of 36 12 mm dice. This gives enough dice for everyone to handle most of their rolls without passing them around, and they're small enough that they don't take up too much space. My group hasn't had any trouble reading them.

These are the ones I bought: https://www.thediceshoponline.com/dice/1967/Chessex-Gemini-Black-Purple-36-x-d6-six-sided-dice

Got me a block of Cthulhu theme-ish colored Chessex dice... CHX 27885. They're a little bit smaller than the 4 original ones, but when you're rolling so many at a time it's actually quite nice.
