What a creative mind can do with Tipp-Ex
One day I found a copy of the old classic game “Guild of Thieves” on sale on Amazon through one of their merchants. The game was described as complete and the price was reasonable so I bought it.
The game arrived a week later and when I opened the box, it was in good condition and everything was there – except one item. A special dice, one with one side blank.
I obviously wanted the complete original package (as advertised) so I sent an email to the seller:
Hi, I ordered a copy of “Guild of Thieves” for the Amiga. The description said it was “used, very good” which it is.

If you could refund me some amount for this inconvenience I’d be happy.
I got an answer the following day:
Sorry we didn’t know this came with a dice. We will send you a dice out immediately. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I felt I had to clarify a bit. The game is a collector’s item and to be complete all original items had to be there, any old dice wouldn’t do. I typed up an answered:
Oh, if you have that dice it’s fantastic. It’s supposed to be a special dice where the face with three dots is blank (see pic below).
I didn’t receive any answer but a week later a small envelope arrived.
In the envelope was a small zip-lock plastic bag…
… and in the plastic bag – was this:

I, for one, think it is awesome! A hand made no-3-at-all-dice. A little hint of a 3 is just mysterious. Like it was made of Your own Low budget Moriarty.

Eller “made by”, ser jag nu med nyktrare ögon.
