The Appeal of the Cat’s Eye Effect

Some materials feel static.
Cat’s eye does not.

We chose cat’s eye dice because they bring movement to something solid. As light shifts across the surface, a luminous band travels through the die, giving it a sense of depth and life.

It’s a small detail—but one that changes how the dice feel at the table.

Watching the light move with each roll adds a subtle rhythm to the game. The dice don’t just land; they respond. They catch light, release it, and change depending on where you sit or how the room is lit.

That interaction makes each moment feel alive.

Cat’s eye has long been admired for this effect, but we were careful not to let it overpower the form of the dice themselves. Balance still matters. Weight still matters. A die should roll well before it looks beautiful.

The appeal of cat’s eye is not spectacle—it’s presence.

It turns each roll into a quiet visual moment, one that doesn’t interrupt the game, but enhances it. Something you notice without needing to think about.

That’s why we chose it.

Because sometimes, a little movement is all it takes to make a game feel alive.
