I finally found why my dice tower was so loud after 3 years
My group kept complaining about the noise every game night, so I tore the thing apart last Saturday. Turned out I glued the felt liner in wrong and it was rattling against the wood spine the whole time. Has anyone else traced a board game annoyance to a build mistake you made years ago?
The felt liner rattling against the wood spine for 3 years is brutal, but I have to disagree that it was a build mistake. That felt was probably doing its job at first and just came loose over time, which happens to almost every liner. My tower did the same thing after about a year and a half, and it was just the glue drying out, not me messing up. Pulling it apart and re-gluing is the real fix, so you are not alone but I would not blame your past self too hard.
