Marketing: make the size more clear #20

I was really surprised at the package size when it arrived in the mail. I know there's already a video, and also a still image with fingertips rolling the dice. Perhaps a die next to a dime or something, or the box in a palm? Amazon sometimes has a silhouette with an item to show its size.

Any common item can be used for scale.

Mostly I was really surprised at the size of the dice themselves, so I was expecting a larger box.

I'm curious as to whether it was larger or smaller than you expected.

The dice were quite a bit smaller than I anticipated, given that I was expecting a die size more in line with those found in board games, or gambling.

@UppaJung I'm with @yeliaBdE, they are WAY smaller than I expected. Board game dice like those in Settlers of Catan or Monopoly are much larger. The DiceKey dice totally work, and now that I see it in person the dice size is appropriate. I also went into our board games and found there's actually a fair amount of variation in the dice size. The ones I use most are larger, but simply having a slightly different photo would help make is clear you can fit 192-bit number "in the palm of your hand." Or "dice the size of dimes" or something...not that anyone outside the US should even know or care about dimes, so obviously something more global in comparison.

They're about the size of a chickpea or child's toy marble.

I was also surprised by the small size, but I think it's best given that there are 25 dice and a larger size would complicate storage. The dice appear high quality, and the overall impression is positive for me. With a small dash of surprise. :-)
