I find a Buffalo every 108 rolls based on my stats so far. So just over 2 boxes. I find War Nickels every 73 rolls so far. Those stats were boosted by two boxes in a row with 4 War Nickels each. Haven't done a box in a couple of weeks now, so I'll probably pick up one today/tomorrow. |

It's all about volume and averages with buffs and War Nickels. Recently I've had a buff every other box and a War Nickel in every box. I'm sure that won't continue and there were times earlier in the year when I didn't have a buff for 5 or 6 boxes in a row. |

I think the average must be a buff every two boxes and a war just slightly less common than 1 a box. I've searched only 600 rolls and that's about what I'm at. My last box had 5 wars in it so it's skewed the results to 1 war every 41.43 rolls but I think it'll even out to 1 war every 50 something rolls over time.
Oh and nice doubled die!
