Coghlan's Fireside Story Dice

Video Transcript for Review of Coghlans Camping Games - Fireside Story Dice Game - CG75GV

Hi everybody, my name is Andy with etrailer.com. Today we're taking a look at Coghlan's Fireside Story dice. If you're looking to make stories around the campfire a little more interesting and a little more exciting, this just might be the game for you to consider. Let's take a closer look at this game. Now this is gonna be perfect for sitting around a campfire with your friends, your family, your loved ones, and each of the die have symbols for you to build a story around. You just simply roll one die or several of the dice and whatever symbol comes up, you're going to try to tell a story based around that symbol.

Now there's no rules to this game, really, and so that's gonna mean that the story is gonna be up to you and ultimately the symbols can mean whatever you want. Again, there's gonna be 12 wooden die that are included, as you notice the colors, each color is a category. For instance, red is going to mean it's gonna stand for actions, or mean actions. So each of the symbols on the red die is going to have some kind of action involved. And then when you move to orange, orange is going to stand for objects.

Let me see if I can give you some views here of the objects that are here. And then when you move to blue, blue is gonna be settings, so places, settings, got a palm tree there, it looks like, mountains. And then you move to green, green is gonna be activities, looks like that's fishing, boating, baseball, and then yellow is gonna be for mood and emotions. So again, that kind of gives you an idea of what's included on these dice, and how to kind of use these dice to play this game. Now, when you're done playing, it does come in this really nice durable tin and it's gonna hold them all very securely and protect them.

Each of the die is nice woodblock construction, so very durable and the paint is really nice and high quality on there, as well. Let me just give you some measurements here briefly of the container. The container is right at about 3 7/8 inches long, and then we're sitting at 2 7/8 inches and we're sitting right about an inch, the depth of the tin. So that kind of gives you an idea of the size of the tin, and then they just pack away very nicely in here, probably actually just kind of throw them all in and they would line up in there real nice. And by the way, each of the die, they're right at about 3/4 of an inch in size.

Now this game is for ages six and up. And if you're looking for other games to take with you to the campsite, here at etrailer.com, we have several options for you to consider. For instance, Coghlan does have a portable 3-in-1 game board set. Games included on that, it's like chess and checkers and other games, but we do have quite a selection here at etrailer.com of a bunch of different games that you could consider for taking with you on the campsite or for long trips or even in your RV. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today at Coghlan's Fireside Story dice. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..
