Chessex Lab Dice — Where New Colourways Are Born
Chessex Lab Dice are something a little special in the world of everyday gaming dice. These sets come straight from Chessex's experimental production runs — colourways and finishes that are being tested, refined, or produced in limited quantities before (or instead of) making it into the main lineup. That means every Lab set has a character all its own: you might find unexpected colour pairings, translucent bases with surprising ink, or finishes that didn't quite fit the standard catalogue but are absolutely worth rolling.
As with all Chessex products, these are made from durable acrylic with clean, readable numerals. Chessex has been the benchmark for hobby-standard gaming dice for decades — reliable edges, consistent weight distribution, and ink that holds up through years of play. Lab sets carry that same build quality, just wrapped in a finish you're less likely to find at every table.
What's in the Set
This is a 3-piece set containing a d4, a d6, and a d8. It's worth noting this is not a full 7-piece polyhedral RPG set — there is no d10, d%, d12, or d20 included. These smaller Lab sets are a great way to sample a colourway, add matching dice to an existing collection, or pick up spares of your most-reached-for pieces. If you're building a complete set, check whether a matching full Lab set is available.
Who Reaches for Lab Dice
Lab Dice appeal most to collectors who want something off the beaten path, and to players who already have a full set and want to round out their dice bag with matching or complementary pieces. They're also a solid low-commitment pick-up for anyone curious about Chessex quality without committing to a full set. Because colourways vary and stock is limited by nature of the Lab line, these are the kind of thing worth grabbing when you see a finish that speaks to you.
