Not the coolest or most expensive ones but the ones that you actually use All The Time.
I have a combination dice tower, dice try and dice storage system that I would fight tooth and nail to keep.
That looks amazing! Did you make it yourself or where did you get it from?
I got it from a shop on Taobao. (Along with the dice you see there including the skull-face D6s, the ancient Chinese d18, the Chinese Chess dice, …)
Mine:
- A couple of very cheap sectioned trays. Shallow enough to make grabbing tokens easy and enough sections to organize them. We use these for pretty much every game with tokens.
- A side-table to help deal with table hogs.
- A couple of those foldable dice trays. I don’t actually use them for dice but as a flexible funnel when bagging things.
- Notepad, pencils, eraser
- An empty tea tin. I use this for some games where you frequently draw items from a bag because it’s a lot faster.
We do have a 3D printer and I love improving my games with all sorts of little things. I did also print some 1-part, 2-part, 3-part and 4-part stackable, multicolored trays which I love and use for many game.
And I have also folded some origami for Everdell which is a great addition and still all fits into the box:
But my favorite is our Burgundy Hexagon - it holds all the components of the game and includes also two dice trays. I would not want to play it without it, it makes playing much more fluid. The downtime inbetween phases is super short.
And all put back together:
My favourite cheap accessory is silicone muffin cups. Available in multiple colours. Fits all your different resources. I think nearly every second person in our club has some. Extra nice: cups with a fold halfway up. Perfect to make half cups for fewer recourses. When not in use, make cupcakes.
My calico games bag that says, “I have too many boardgames, said no one ever” (c:
A large piece of orange felt as a table topper.
A low ceramic 4 compartment serving tray, for counters and other bits. It is the perfect dimension, weight and feel.
I like my neoprene mousemat-style playmat. Makes it easier to pick op cards and other components and offers slight protection as well.
I use a 36”x36” one made for X-Wing with a nice, low-key space theme.
X-trays to store game pieces is life-changing. The lids hold on well and they are stackable. They come with me for any game. And they are like $1.50 each
Are those the trays used to grow plants?
What? It’s for board game pieces
first thing that came up when searching. Got a link to the ones you mentioned?
Oh! It’s these ones https://gametrayz.com/shop/x-trayz-universal-board-game-organizer/
Beer.
Pennygems. Absolutely kills me they aren’t sold anymore.
Burger Tokens are pretty great.
These look excellent, thank you! I’ll probably be picking up a Keyforge set.
