Description

Nickel Drop Game is a wooden dice game from Creative Crafthouse. Same fast play as Penny Drop, sized for nickels, with a rule twist that adds strategy and a bit of name-calling.

The Nickel Drop has a solid wood box topped with a floorboard playing surface that is scratch and water resistant. Includes one handcrafted 7/8 inch wooden die. Players supply twelve nickels each.

  • Dimensions: 6 x 2.5 x 2.6 inches.
  • Slot 5 twist: rolls hitting an occupied 5 let you give the nickel to any player.
  • Engrave up to 45 characters on the lid.
  • For the original, see Penny Drop Premium. Compare in the Penny Drop Game collection.
  • Gift for game nights and bar collectors.

Penny Drop is invented and handmade by Creative Crafthouse in Hudson, Florida. If it isn't Creative Crafthouse, it isn't Penny Drop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Nickel Drop Game?

A handcrafted wooden dice game from Creative Crafthouse. Same fast play as Penny Drop, sized for nickels, with a rule twist that adds strategy and a bit of name-calling.

How is Nickel Drop different from Penny Drop?

Nickel Drop uses nickels instead of pennies and adds the Slot 5 Twist: when a roll of 5 hits an occupied 5 slot, you take that nickel and give it to any player of your choice. Otherwise the rules match Penny Drop.

Who created the game?

Created by Dave Janelle, founder and owner of Creative Crafthouse, and handcrafted in our Hudson, Florida workshop.

What are the rules?

Use one die. Roll 1-5 and place a nickel in the matching slot; if it already has a nickel, take all nickels on the board and your turn ends (with the Slot 5 Twist applying when 5 is rolled and the 5 slot is full). Roll a 6 and drop the nickel into the box. First to empty their stack wins.

How many players?

Two or more players. Twelve nickels per player; ten or eleven each makes a faster game.

Does the Nickel Drop include nickels?

No. Players supply their own nickels, twelve per player.

What materials are used?

Solid wood box topped with a floorboard playing surface that is scratch and water resistant. Deeply laser-engraved text. Includes one handcrafted 7/8 inch die.

What are the dimensions?

6 x 2.5 x 2.6 inches.

Do you offer laser-engraved personalization?

Yes. We laser-engrave names, dates, messages, business logos, or short quotes on the lid. Up to 45 characters total.

How fast do orders ship?

Standard orders typically ship within 1 business day; personalized orders usually ship within 2 business days.

Is Nickel Drop a good gift?

Yes. Popular as a gift for game nights, bar collectors, and fans of the original Penny Drop who want a strategic twist on the same game.

How do I spot authentic Creative Crafthouse Penny Drop and Nickel Drop versus copies?

Look for Creative Crafthouse branding and the trademark laser-engraved on the lid. If it isn't Creative Crafthouse, it isn't Penny Drop.
