My kids are starting to game and they have an assortment of dice, but when I saw this I thought it would provide dice for their friends when playing, and they could each pick a set they liked for themselves. I wasn't really concerned about the bag (which some reviews have knocked) and the selection sounded good.
The dice were an immediate hit. One picked the dark red set, dubbing it the "diablo dice" and the other picked the white set, calling it the "heaven dice". But the picking was difficult. "I've got it down to these two sets" said one, then later, "I've got it down to these two sets." When I pointed out that it had previously been narrowed down to two sets the reply was, "but these are two different sets." Gorgeous dice.
Because other reviewers had picked on the dice bag I had no expectations there, but it is a nice dice bag. No, it isn't a $50 bag. No, it won't survive being used as a flail. But it has cavernous space and can comfortably hold seventeen of the sets. It looks nice and is reasonably well made.
Naturally, the first thing we did (after dice selection) was get down to gaming. And, with the claims of "imbalanced" and "unfair" dice it should come as no surprise that a string of 1's were rolled on 1d20. Except, that player was using their prior dice set. I mean seriously, I've been gaming for forty years and I've learned that dice are random and gamers are superstitious. I've seen incredibly unlikely strings of rolls, but if you understand the statistics of rolling you know that such things aren't as uncommon as they may seem. (There are *many* of those "unlikely" strings -- game long enough and you will likely, though not certainly, see some -- heck, I've had a d6 land on a corner and sit there, stable. I don't even know how to calculate how unlikely that is.)
But perhaps more to the point with respect to "fair" dice -- a long time ago I bought some "Character Builder" dice. It was a set of three six sided dice made of wood with a lead plug on the one's face. It is hard to conceive of a more unfair die. The impression when rolling them is that they always roll 6's, but I was curious and so rolled them a thousand times to get reasonable statistics. Two through five were slightly less common than 1:6 and the six was only about 2:6. The odds of rolling a 1 were still not that bad, around 1:12. And those dice were a hoot. They'd spin around the one face, flip back from rolling another face to land with six up, and so on. And that's all such a massively imbalanced die can achieve. These dice will not have a perfect distribution: no dice does. But you'd be hard pressed to measure it accurately and -- seriously -- they are for gaming.
These dice are fine. They are very pretty. They are very reasonably priced. And you get a dice bag thrown in that can hold most of them.

The only disappointing ones were the orange/yellow set which has a lighter shades of orange and yellow than the photo. Under our lighting, the white numbering on those is difficult to read against some of the lighter colored surfaces. It would have been better if they'd used a darker paint for the numbers on that set instead, and I might try painting the numbers on those black.
I have not done any formal testing for balance, but based on several dozen rolls of each in a small dice tower, we didn't detect any obvious issues with them favoring certain numbers over others. They seem to roll high numbers as often as low numbers, 20's as often as 1's, etc. I only found 1 minor imperfection on the blue/white percentile die - the 0 on the 30 appears to be slightly malformed, but the number is still readable and it doesn't seem to affect its rolls. Since we rarely ever roll the percentile dice, this won't be a problem for us.
The price is good for just the dice alone, but this deal also includes 6 black dice bags each with a different gold symbol. These bags look really sharp, and the drawstrings work very well to keep the bags held shut. Each bag is intended to hold one set of 7 dice, but can easily handle up to two sets of 7 dice if desired.
Overall, I'd rate these dice at about 4 to 4.5 stars, and the dice bags as 5 stars, rounding up to 5 stars for the whole package. If you're looking to pick up a few extra inexpensive dice, these are definitely worth a look. Each set of 7 dice + a bag could make a great gift for a player just getting started in playing table-top RPGs.
