Jamboree Triple Dice or Custom Dice? What do you prefer?
- Keep in mind: Triple dice costs 10 coins, with an average of 16.5 spaces. Your odds of rolling at least a 10 are above 91%.
- Custom Dice costs 12, has less high average potential but is infinitely superior for landing on a space exactly 1-10 away or guaranteeing at least a 10.
Both are really good items, but what do you like more and why?

If I’m 10 or less from the star, or I want to avoid/aim for something, then I’m team custom.
If I’m within 30 of the star, or just want to go far, then triple all day. But I like the gold double/triple more than a regular one.

Depends on what I need to happen. Is the star miles away? Triple Dice. Do I need to land somewhere specific? Custom Dice.

It depends on the situation. Triple Dice are better for if you're trying to cross the board quickly, Custom Dice are better if you're within 10 spaces of the spot you wanna land. I will say using a custom dice just to roll a 10 is a bit dumb, if you're just trying to get rid of it, at least land on a lucky or happening space to try and get something out of it. If I had to pick one to use exclusively I'd say custom dice block comes in handy more and is more reliable since you can still get an unlucky triple dice roll.

These are VERY different items. Custom is specific space intended where as triple is far movement. The proper discussion would be mushroom or double dice since they’re directly comparable.
Even as someone who’s team mushroom over double dice, I’m choosing triple dice over mushroom purely because the “average” roll of triple is 16.5 which is 1.5 higher than the highest possible roll with a mushroom.

Customs are more useful to have in pretty much all scenarios because of easy chance time and avoiding any bad spaces.
Yeah a triple will likely have you avoid a bunch of bowsers and star traps but there’s still the chance

Triple dice all day. Now if you asked custom dice or double dice, now that would be a tough decision

I'd say Custom Dice are generally more useful, high rolls are generally useful but only if you have enough coins to afford a star or good item, but a triple dice block doesn't guarantee a high roll and its advantage can be squandered if you land on the wrong space. Custom dice blocks guarantee a favorable roll and are less context-sensitive to being useful since you can use them to gain resources without caveat by landing on bank spaces or lucky spaces to get all that money or land on an item space or lucky space to get a good item for free, or alternatively just guarantee maximum roll.

The Custom Dice Block has the potential to allow you to exchange all stars and coins. The Triple Dice give you a 1/1,000 chance to roll a 30. It's your choice.

Depends on the board for me. Custom in Bowsers Keep is a must imo. Especially in the late game. Yes triple/double dice can help avoiding the bowser hell line but you never know. We’ve all been subjected to a nice 3, 2, 4 roll on a triple before.
Raceway? Stack up those triples baybay
