Quick Answer
A magnetic rectangle tray, like the Magnetic Rectangle Tray - Gray Velvet, helps you organize your dice rolling area by providing a dedicated, quiet surface that keeps dice contained and protects your table. Here's how to set it up and use it effectively.
Why a Magnetic Rectangle Tray Helps Organize Your Dice
A magnetic rectangle tray is more than just a rolling surface—it's a portable organizer for your dice. Its rectangular shape fits neatly on any table without dominating the space, and the magnetic closure keeps it flat during use and compact for storage. The velvet interior quiets dice rolls, which is especially helpful in shared gaming spaces or when playing late.
The tray's size (8.5" x 11" when flat) matches a standard sheet of paper, so it slides easily into a backpack or tote. This makes it a practical choice for game nights at a friend's house or conventions where table space is limited.
How to Organize Your Dice Tray
- Unfold and Set Up the Tray: Open the magnetic rectangle tray flat on your table. The magnets will hold the corners together, forming a shallow rectangular basin. Make sure the velvet side faces up for a smooth rolling surface. Check that the magnets are fully engaged to prevent the tray from collapsing during use.
- Place Your Dice Inside: Arrange your dice within the tray, grouping them by set or type if you like. The tray's walls keep them contained, so you can have multiple dice ready without them rolling off the table. Avoid overfilling the tray—leave enough space for dice to roll freely without hitting each other.
- Roll Dice and Keep the Area Tidy: Roll your dice directly in the tray. The velvet surface quiets the roll, and the walls catch any dice that bounce. After each roll, return dice to their spot in the tray to maintain organization. If dice land on the table outside the tray, you may be rolling too hard—try a gentler toss.
- Fold and Store When Done: When the game ends, gather your dice, fold the tray flat, and secure it with the magnetic closure. Store it in your bag or on a shelf until next time. Wipe the velvet with a dry cloth if dust or debris accumulates; avoid moisture to preserve the material.
