This seems like a very interesting product. It seems more useful to build maps or structures than dice, really, although that is not a bad aspect. These are similar to some building toys and puzzles, so maybe these would be successful if marketed at an audience of children.
Also, as a more general comment related to the video, it may be beneficial when demonstrating the product in a particular language (I'm assuming here that since your location is Spain there is some language gap) that even when the script is very clear, the person speaking should not have a very strong accent when speaking in another language. It made it somewhat difficult to understand what was being said. Also, having good, clean, and consistent audio throughout the video is important. The middle portion of the video (which was the most important in describing the product) had lower volume and quality. Overall, when showcasing something, you want to make it very easy for the audience to hear and understand.

I understood everything perfectly and my native language is neither English nor Spanish or anything close.
That was NOT a "very strong" accent. Sure it was a bit quirky, but at the same time very clear.
Hi, I'm Eva Lopez, from nestorgames, and this is a Nestortile.
Nestortiles are interlocking foam panels in different colors, numbered like dice or dominoes, with 1 to 6 pips on each. They can be used to play many games.
You can use them as tiles, creating flat maps like dungeons, or assemble them three-dimensionally to create custom six-sided dice. These dice can range from the standard D6 numbered 1 to 6 in one color to any D6 you can imagine, by mixing colors and numbers.
There are 2 types of Nestortiles:
A-Type: The interlocking teeth are short, so the edges of the assembled dice are flush, suitable for making a single die, for example.
B-Type: The interlocking teeth are about double in length, allowing you to connect multiple tiles or dice in order to create more complex 3D structures.
Moreover, you can customize the tiles by drawing on their backs with a permanent marker or by adding stickers, and create your own designs!
Aha... so a playing surface construct of A-types could have an almost perfect [2.5 v 2.54 cm] 1-inch square grid superimposed / implied over it.
Icehouse pieces are 1-inch square [for the big ones], so could straddle the teeth mid-way between tiles and work well unless a bunch of larges lined up.
The pieces would cover the inner 2 x 2 cm, plus .25(2) cm in each direction if centered over the tile, leaving the other .25(2) cm for the next piece over.

Have considered using the B-type tiles instead? With the extra length of the teeth on the B-type, even the large Icehouse pyramids would have some elbow room.
Math guys there? Let's do some calculations with Nestortiles.
- How many different dice you can create with one set of Nestortiles?
- How many different sets of 10 dice you can create with a set of Nestortiles?
- Removing color permutations, How many different sets of 10 dice you can create with a set of Nestortiles? (This is, colors A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J being the same as C,G,B,D,H,J,I,A,E,F, for example)
- How many different dominoes you can create with one set of Nestortiles?
- How many different sets of 30 dominoes you can create with a set of Nestortiles?
- Removing color permutations, How many different sets of 30 dominoes you can create with a set of Nestortiles?

If you ignore different arrangement of the same faces on the same die (which you would if you're just rolling them), then the answer is 60 choose 6, or a mere 50 063 860
- How many different sets of 10 dice you can create with a set of Nestortiles? [/q] Something like 60! / ( (6! ^ 10) * 10! ~= 6E46.

I don't understand this question. Could you clarify?

60 * 59 = 3540
Quote:
- How many different sets of 30 dominoes you can create with a set of Nestortiles?
60! / ( 30! * (2! ^ 30) ) ~= 2.9E40.

Again, I don't know how you define ignoring colour permutations. Ignoring colours entirely?
