Tactic has new tin can games. These games are small travel games, and the set includes Poker dice, Yahtzee, Dominoes, Rummy and Bingo. The Rummy tiles look bizarre and Yahtzee is totally useless, but I went and bought the Poker dice set, mostly because of Dice Games Properly Explained and the way it mentions how many games are better when played with proper Poker dice.

They are quite neat. The dice cup that came in the box is totally ridiculous and the game rules are useless — they describe only the very basic and boring version of the Poker dice game. Also there’s a small notebook for recording scores. But the dice are ok. The price is fair (6, 90 EUR), though I’d like to buy just a bunch (say 30) of dice without the extra fluff…

I’m thinking about buying the dominoes, too. They’re better-looking than the other Tactic dominoes (these are black with white dots and the others are white with black dots). But are they too small, that’s the question…
