I can see why it could look suspect if you haven’t seen the Entropia pieces before. They’re expensive but it beats cutting out tiny pieces of paper; unless you’ve got kids that’ll do it. That’s what I had my kids do when we setup theirs. Still, the plastic version is much more manageable if you don’t like dice. A person should still take the time and review the pieces though to make sure they match the list. Always a good idea!
