I bought these due to the matte finish and good contrast with the numbers. I really wasn't sure about the smaller size but it has had no negative impact at all. The packaging is very nice and gets complimented regularly. I would recommend these without hesitation.
I’ve been playing ShadowDark with some friends and for the effect of darkness we have had black lights on. I was looking for dice that would react well to this. The orange ink lights up well on these.
