A few weeks ago, I was gonna download the files to Adam Nedeff's Gambit and Big Showdown home games. But I found out he deleted them. I even sent Adam an email 13 days ago asking if he still has them, but he didn't responsed. If anybody downloaded them before they were deleted and still has them, please PM me.

Well, you didn't send it to any email I'm still using, I guess. Here you go.

Board Games Maker was very easy to get the dice set up--literally drag and drop. That said, for 30 mm wooden dice it looks like it costs $9.90 for each die. I don't know if that is just the cost to set up and the actual dice will be less expensive, but Josh, if you're looking to do this yourself you might do better to go to PrintPlayGames.com out of Vancouver or The Game Grafter in the midwest, order some blank dice and either sharpie in (if that's the case get indented dice) or print and stick on labels.
The handiwork is gorgeous and a Gambit deck from BGM has pride of place along with two Card Sharks decks that were made at the same time.

If you want to make a bunch of larger dice on the cheap and have a color printer, here's a way to make six pair for under thirty bucks:

I wouldn't need to make a ton of them (and I'm certainly spoiled for choice, dice-wise) and after our office closure would need to go to the library to print anything. Dollar Tree sold dry erase dice that I think were Big ShowDown sized. Maybe still do.

At GSC '98, we taped corrugated cardboard squares together then glued inkjet printed pips/SHOW's/DOWN's on the sides × 5 or 6 sets
25+ years later, laser color printers and more modern advances can likely make the dice look better in appearance, though the corrugated cardboard panels are still the least expensive route.

Hey, thanks, Adam. I just downloaded all the files. And Happy Big Showdown/Moneymaze day. Today is the 50th Anniversary of both ABC game shows. :)
