I have the Arduino uno from the starter kit and have been following this tutorial http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-Led-Dice/.
Now I have this working fine the problem is I need to have five sets of dice to make it a game (10 for 2player but thats not important) the problem is I have a very small Bread board that at most will only fit 2 sets of dice.
What I'm looking for is what would be a good Large solder less bread board I could get as I cant find one that is big enough on the Arduino store.
Also I was looking in to shift registers and came to the conclusion that i will need some to hook up all of the dice sets
i.e. the 174HC595 shift register so on that case how many of those will i need / is this the right thing i'm looking for.
Project is based on the dice poker mini game from "The Witcher" games.

The word "good" and "solder less bread board" are an oxymoron.
74HC595 shift register so on that case how many of those will i need
There are 8 outputs per shift register, you need 7 LEDs per dice so simplest would be one shift register per dice.
So simplest would be 10 shift registers, but you could get away with 9.
With that many you will need decoupling capacitors as well.
Thanks ill take your advice on board and probably post a follow up if needed when I actually start to work on the project.
