Ahh, it’s like Big Julie’s dice from “Guys & Dolls”.

“To change my luck I will use my own dice.”
“Your own dice!”
“I had them made for me especially in Chicago.”
“They’re blank.”
“I had the spots taken off for luck. But I remember where the spots formerly were.”

Reminds me of the dice scene from Guys and Dolls:

Sky Masterson: “But Big Julie, there are no spots upon these dice!”

Big Julie: “I had the spots removed, for luck. But that is OK, as I remember where they used to be!”

(Quote from memory, may be off by a word or too, but essentially correct. Sorry I could not find the movie clip on YouTube.)

Me: It is if I believe it.
Other player: blink

Be sweet for filling in missing cards, either normal ones or ones that should be - like princesses and the 12 of hearts.

I keep trying trying to think of reasons to buy these, but I’m drawing a blank.
