Why You Need Kawaii Cat Dice (Spoiler Alert: They're Purrfect)

LIFE IS HARD. CUTE DICE HELP.

There are days when the world feels like a Blade Runner dystopia. Your car won't fly, the rain tastes of acid, deadly androids from an off-world colony are running rampant... You pray for the sweet, sweet taste of oblivion. 

But then you come upon a nature show with some guy in khakis holding a koala and your brain lights up like a nat 20. You start to think maybe you're focusing a little too much on chaos.

That, dear reader, says something about the power of cute. It's not just a moment's distraction from the ugliness and disorder that we sometimes can't escape. It's a chemical hit that softens us to the pressures of being alive in a complicated world. (Bear with us, dice goblins... we're going deep!).

And do we at 1985 Games have CUTE for YOU. 

FEELIN' GOOD. FELINE GOOD.

We're talking cats. Okay, not actual cats. Cat dice. With an assortment of fruit themes. Housed in adorable milk cartons. The ultimate cocktail of charm so bubbly it almost makes your heart hurt. First launched on Kickstarter, our Fruit Meadows Milk Carton Cat Dice series features twelve delectable pastel sets of role-playing dice that come drenched in serotonin and affection cranked up to 11 (a Spinal Tap reference for those who thought the mini-Stonehenge set piece was pretty cute). 

That's a lot of chemical hits. Hits that your brain remembers. That your brain learns to produce over and over. The result? You see more of what you want to see. More of what makes you feel good.

But we're getting ahead of ourselves. See the power of going kawaii? Let's back up and discuss the reasons we made kawaii cat dice and not, say, kawaii rabbit dice. Although that mysterious rabbit pelt that's been sitting on our catch-all table for the past year may be telling us something... 

OKAY SO… WHY CAT DICE? WHY FRUIT? WHY MILK CARTONS?

Great questions. Let's roll through them.

First, there's a chance you fall into at least one of these categories: 1) a dice goblin who hoards shinies like they're on Hoarders: The D&D Series; 2) a cat lover who knows that "knocking stuff off shelves" is a love language; and 3) a kawaii enthusiast who needs everything to have a little face on it. 

Not by coincidence, our cat dice play at the crossroads of all three. And they're overachievers: they come with a sticker and pin that radiate characterization and world-building. Purrfect!

Second, think Froot Loops. Fruity Pebbles. Frankenberry. Banana Frosted Flakes. Fruit Wheats. Fruit & Fibre. The stuff that Saturday morning cartoons are made of. Minus the sleepiness that follows. We've taken that sugary vibe and turned it into its own food group! With tantalizing textures and mouthwatering colors. 

Third, if fruit conjures up sugar-fueled Saturday morning TV, the milk carton takes you back to those sack lunches you scarfed down in the school lunch room after a game of kickball. Goth games call for a coffin container. Kawaii games call for little boxes of playground fuel. 

MEET YOUR NEXT COMFORT CHARACTERS

Okay, now for the hype part.

Introducing three of our twelve fruity cat characters. if you're having an existential crisis, problems on the home front, a daily commute that makes you want to drown in Netflix, you'll want these Fruit Meadows celebrities like a cat diving into a jar of catnip. A megadose of euphoria. The chemical hit that turns your brain into a feel-good factory. That turns nightmarish science fiction into an '80s Starburst commercial.

With cats.

And fruity goodies. 

Lots of fruity goodies.

Orange Cat: The Bold One Who Bites

Bright, zesty, and impossible to ignore, Orange Cat doesn’t just enter the chat—they pounce on it. This is the dice set for loud rogues, soft barbarians, and anyone whose snack choices are as unhinged as their initiative rolls. Guaranteed to stir up trouble and then nap on your spell slots.

Blackberry Cat: The Drama Royal

Deep purple with regal vibes, Blackberry Cat thrives in maximum emotional stakes. They’re the kind of dice you roll when you're about to make a grand declaration—or a chaotic mistake on purpose. Excellent for bards, theater kids, or anyone whose cat has a signature walk.

Golden, glowing, and just a little too clever, Pineapple Cat is the friend who plans the beach day and the heist. These dice roll with tropical charm and sneaky intentions—sweet on the outside, all strategy underneath. Ideal for party faces with backup plans and anyone who’s ever smiled while rolling deception.

D&D DICE THAT DO MORE THAN ROLL

There you have it. Our thoughts on our stellar line of fruit-themed kawaii cat dice, as well as our dissertation on why cute matters. Not that you needed a reason to collect kawaii dice! But still, we think it's reassuring that the urge to touch adorable creatures and objects is baked into our DNA. That our sole evolutionary purpose isn't just to kill and eat things more vulnerable than us. That we were born to cuddle with them, too. 

So stop worrying about those deadly androids roaming the streets and start dreaming of fruity cats (and if you caught that double-reference, treat yourself to some catnip!) Better yet, buy our cute cat dice!
