Gaming company truck spills thousands of dice onto highway, rolls a 756,000
Holy craps!
A truck bringing supplies to a board game company in Georgia spilled around 216,000 dice onto a highway — in what’s believed to be the largest accidental roll ever, according to a report Thursday.
The pick-up was hauling a massive load of six-sided dice for a yet-to-be-released tabletop game on Friday the 13th, when it took a turn too quickly on Interstate 75 in Atlanta and created the dicey situation, a rep from the gaming company, Trivium Studios, told Kotaku.com.
Roughly half of the load went tumbling onto the busy highway — leaving a team of emergency responders to clean up the Chessex-brand cubes with brooms and shovels, the outlet reported.
“Though unfortunate it happened, nobody got hurt and we now own an unofficial world record for the largest dice roll in history!” said the company spokesman, who was not named in the report.
In a YouTube video of the aftermath, a man can be heard saying, “I wonder if we should go through and add up what all the rolls were.”
The average roll of two six-sided dice is around seven, so Trivium estimates the roll likely totaled around 756,000.
The truck was undamaged, and there were no reports of injuries, Kotaku reported.
The firm says it now plans to unveil the dice game closer to its planned early 2020 launch.
