“An Exciting New Collectible Dice Game Series”

Not to be confused with today’s Dice Masters collectible dice game (find at Amazon.com*), this 1996 advertisement for Iron Crown’s Dicemaster collectible dice game shows a product I have always wondered about . . . and never owned or played. As CCGs exploded in the mid-nineties, a few publishers took the collectible side of the equation and married it with dice, making the (in my opinion, correct) assumption that if gamers love collecting game cards, then they are likely to get behind the idea of collectible dice. After all, even today we have people who love to collect dice, so it isn’t unimaginable in 1996 that there would be an audience for randomized and collectible dice.

Other than today’s Dice Masters game and TSR’s Dragon Dice collectible dice game of the nineties (find at Amazon.com*), has there ever been a popular and successful collectible dice game?
