• I tried something by myself.
    I ordered blank dice. Red, yellow, green and blue.
    The cost 4€ for each pack of 25 dice.

    I drilled holes into the surface.
    1 hole into 1 side of the reds, 2 holes into 2 sides of the yellows, 3 holes into 3 sides of the greens, 4 holes into 4 sides of the blues. Yes, that were 750 holes.
    After that I “borrowed” some black nail polish from my wife and filled the holes.
    Next day I cleaned the mess with nail polish remover.

    This strategy is a bit easier for new players. You dont have to remember the correct colour. Just take the dice with the 2 dots per side if you need  “2-dice” …

    I’ve thought about doing this exact same thing. Have tried them out yet? If so, how big of a difference do they make?

    Yes.
    It’s definitely faster.
    And it removes irritating conversations like:
    “3! Hit!”
    “Wait! Didn’t you announce rolling for your destroyer?”
    “Nope. I wanted the cruiser.”
    “Hmm”

    I got my inspiration from that one and added the extra holes for 2,3 and 4.
