How to navigate board game accessories
Not sure how to navigate the world of board game accessories? We have a detailed guide for you.
Inserts
Do you love your board game and want to play it more often? But the box is getting messier by the day. Components spill out before every game, and you face an endless ordeal of sorting cards, tokens, and miniatures. Sometimes you just leave it sitting on the table, but that’s not exactly ideal either… What if someone bumps into it? Has that happened to you yet?
Our inserts will solve your problem – these are plywood, foam, or plastic organizers that fit right into your game's original box. An insert is custom-made for a specific game and features compartments designed for its exact components. It’s super handy and practical, we highly recommend it!
Card Sleeves
Board games aren't always cheap, and if you’re even a little protective of your stuff, it’s definitely not fun when a card gets dirty, bent, or heaven forbid, spilled on or torn. If you want to avoid these unpleasant mishaps, you can use clear plastic card sleeves.
Choosing the right sleeves might seem like a tough nut to crack, but don't panic!
The Superman of online databases is sleeveyourgames. Just type the name of your game into the search bar, hit enter, and you'll see everything you need. Not just the sleeve size, but also a list of manufacturers where you can buy them. Pretty cool, right?
We personally recommend sleeves from Mayday. They supply high-quality sleeves in countless sizes. All sizes are available in two versions. Premium sleeves are 90 microns thick, very durable, and perfect for collectors who want to protect their cards properly. The Standard version is 40 microns thick, cheaper, and great for casual players or those who prefer thinner sleeves.
You can even download the online database app to your mobile phone directly from the Mayday website.
For Connoisseurs
If you’re a true fan of a particular board game, we have handy accessories for your gaming table for you – in the form of overlays. These are boards that sit on top of your game map and make it easier to organize components that would otherwise just be placed on the board.
We also offer organizers and card stands to help you keep your cards and other components tidy on the gaming table.
When something goes missing…
Losing a game component is infuriating. But don't despair; we can replace tokens, stones, or bases, often with even nicer or more practical alternatives. In our selection, you'll find dice, tokens, stones, and plenty of other useful little things.
Backpacks and Bags for Board Games
Let’s be honest, board games are bulky, and if you’re transporting several at once, you need a logistical mindset. Fortunately, we have a solution for these cases – special backpacks and bags for board games. If you’re a fan of miniature games, definitely wander over to our section for foam organizers and cases, where you'll find proper protection for your beloved creations.
