A totally ASYMMETRICAL die. It has small and large sides and no central center of gravity; it also isn’t perfectly flat; it has bulges and looks like a piece of rubble or debris with some twisted pipes and damaged home equipment parts sticking out of it. Product description In the game’s mechanics, this Rubble Die represents a decision to sacrifice some time while searching through a location. We risk more than usual, but instead, we can find something more. You roll the die. In most cases, the roll will mean one of the more probable results, but from time to time, a VERY HARD-to-get result will be rolled, and with it, we will trigger an extremely rare finding or an event. The description of the symbols on each of the die’s sides will be printed on the cards that will come with it. Not all results of the rolls will be to our liking. The Rubble Die brings certain risks with it and VERY RARELY a highly unpleasant adventure. —description by the publisher
