Those were a joke among tabletop rpg players years back. Which is a bit of a shame, because they’re actually pretty good dice bags, but anytime we saw one get pulled out at a convention or store we rolled our eyes. Better than 90% of the time, the person using it wasn’t old enough to drink, and was *immensely* impressed to be using an alcohol related accessory. Hur hur hur. If you’re actually buying the booze, hey, free dice bag; but if you got your cool brother in college to get you one, please stop.

I bought it once just to try it. It's alright, but the reason I had one in the first place is because my dad would buy a bottle once in a while and he used the bags to store larger coins, like half dollars. I didn't even know what Crown Royal was (never bothered looking in my parents' liquor cabinet) until I was in my late teens and just thought they were cool bags.

I played Dominion with a large Lazy Susan once and it was amazing. We had all of the cards in a single row along the edge of the Lazy Susan and just rotated it to whoever's turn it was. Not the most practical for all games but it beats half of the players leaning over the table to read stuff upside down.

Agreed, though sometimes they will force one to chuck an insert if it was a decent one, where cards are held in individual wells or the well is JUST big enough to hold the card with no regard to sleeve excess (especially FFG sleeves with that little flap that they leave behind). Also, sometimes they will necessitate the use of a deck tray if there's so many cards in a stack (Ascension-like deck builders and Ex-Libris come to mind, even after halving the deck into two stacks after dealing out the cards in the latter case).

Definitely! KMC matte sleeves are my favorite! Dragon Shield matte sleeves are also great. I love the feeling of handling well sleeved cards. So much easier to shuffle.

This was a great list and a very fun watch -- Zee was on fire! :D I don't have a lot of spare cash but there's a few "must haves" on my list, too. In no particular order: • custom game inserts (a MUST for "Dead of Winter", instead of baggies - game setup takes a minute instead of 10). Not all game need them but it sure speeds things up. • upgraded components - especially thematic ones to replace cardboard bits (I'm looking at you, Marvel Legendary Infinity Shards) • METAL COINS! I only have them for Scythe so far but I want them for ALL THE GAMES • a large sheet of felt. I found one for free, probably replacement felt for a pool table. Covers my entire dining table. Makes dice rolling quiet, components don't shift/slide, and cards are easier to pick up • A dice tower. I only have one but it's a huge space saver and protects components from getting knocked around • Plano boxes - There are dozens of sizes and styles, many are easily customized, and they're a cheap alternative to custom inserts for game components. • Crown Royal bags. Especially nice for when you need to draw tiles blindly. Different flavors provide different colors if you want to match a game thematically. • Envelopes taped to the inside of the box lid. I store notes, quick reference guides, and high scores from past games in them.

Probably the ones I've purchased the most of is card sleeves and component trays. For component trays, I usually buy bead storage from a crafts store or other small trays from Daiso. I also like extra dice and dice bags, playmats, card boxes, dice trays (although I only have one), and I buy materials to build my own foamcore game inserts for some of my games. Oh and my gaming dedicated IKEA Kallax shelf. I recently backed the Game Topper as well, so that's a big ticket accessory I went for. I'm not so much into upgrading game components, although I am tempted to replace the paper money in Power Grid with poker chips or something else, because I apparently also hate paper money too. If I ever get into painting miniatures, then that's another world I'd probably end up spending a bit in, but I've resisted the urge so far.

The artbook is lovely, but it's a thing of its own. The rest of components are nice (a friend has it) but it doesn't fix my dislike for the game (nor does it meaningfully improve the games I do like). I like practical accessories, as there are certaing things that make the game worse for me (like paper money) but they are nowhere near to being even meaningful most of the time. Power Grid is still one of my favorite games, paper money or not, and my copy of Machi Koro has the tokens replaced by actual Yen coins because the cardboard ones started to fade with use, but they don't really add anything to an already fun game. So yeah, people that love accessories are of course more than welcome to listen to advice in a personal top, and I found it intriguing and made me discover what things do other people value, and that was interesting on it's own. The thing is that having someone like Zee on the top was (as his presence often is) actually refreshing, as it does add a varied point of view.

Real beats realistic any day (oh and stonemeier coins cost 30eur which is much more than 5eur). Another thing is with the game box inserts. They are easy to make yourself with a glue gun, knife and foamboard. Much cheaper, they just take time.

They are better than rubber bands, don't "eat into cards" or dent them. You can get a bag of any color including like 500+ for under $5 on Amazon or at your local craft store. Even better- you only have to wrap them ONE time around. This is probably he biggest kept secret and my #1 recommended game accessory. www.amazon.com/dp/B00713LNVO/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_yEiwCb21RE0RJ 2.

I'm gonna support Tom here and say I use rubber bands for my games too. I work at an office supply store and I have access of millions of them. I've used them since I started gaming a few years back and I've never noticed any denting or damage while using them. I just don't put them on super tight. I also use plastic baggies, again I get them for free which is a good thing cause I'm sure if anyone else were to buy the number of baggies I use, they'd think I was a drug dealer.

If you have quite a few small games, I have mostly small card games, and you want to keep the original box ... the no hub VHS case is a must. I used them for storing and organizing small museum artefacts in the late 80's and I began using them for my own collectables later because they were very cheap. Now, I use them to keep my small card games organized. Just copy the art and text from the internet to arrange a cover and binding that you can print out on a regular sheet of paper to slip into the VHS cover and it looks like a custom case you bought in a store. It is important to get the cases without the hub so the inside back is flat, but you can still order them from Amazon. If you buy a case of 100 to split with someone else they cost about 50-cents each after shipping. Shipping is the killer so order in bulk if you can. Rather than storing my small card games in a box or a drawer I have them set neatly on a bookshelf so they are easy to find and nice to look at. I bought mine back when I could buy these cases for 10-cents apiece but at 50-cents apiece when you buy in bulk is still a good deal in my opinion because you will literally use them for decades. Tell Zee to try them out and if he likes them he can do a component review so more people buy them. Now that VHS is a thing of the past it would be bad if they quit making them.

Clif B. Look for stamp holders. Stamping up sells the vhs and CD sizes

Long strips of velcro can be purchased at home improvement stores that can wrap all the way around a board game box

Yup, rubber bands are cool. But putting shelves as accessories is... huh. Thanks to Zee for the mood of the show :)

I like box inserts for when I have included multiple expansion packs. I prefer the organza drawstring bags over zipper bags. You can still see through them but opening and closing them is faster. I have also used dollar tree containers for components. The ones I use for Seafall seperate everything nicely and fit perfectly in the plastic molded insert that came with the game.

For start player, me and my husband tend to do odds/evens on a d20. On which note - After extra dice, dice tray, realistic tokens, metal coins, plastic baggies, general score keeper apps for traditional card games and games that don't come with score pads, I'd struggle. If the game setup is particularly long I might upgrade the baggies to an insert (including plano boxes), and some games I wind up using a deck of money rather than metal coins due to impracticalities of a real coins for that game, but it's hard to think of other stuff I tend to use.

10) Glue - this is necessary for many games with constructable pieces 9) Card Sleeves 8) plastic bags 7) Dice Bags - these are nice for small box games. if you can fit a small game into them it makes the game much easier to carry in your pocket. 6) Custom dice 5) DIce Tray/ Tower - either keeps dice on the table. 4) Tackle Boxes - Great for Organizing Games to make them get to the table quicker. 3) Custom Inserts - these are almost necessary for some games. These can cut set up time down by up to 15 minutes (almost 25 in the case of Gloomhaven) this is the difference between a game being played or not. they also add to table presence. 2) Dry Erase Markers - cardboard edges look terrible Ink that Sh*t black and all that goes away. If you want you can custom color all your edges, but a basic black dry erase marker tends to fix everything. 1) Paint - for minis.

I bought a giant set of different color permanent markers to color my board edges. The brown cardboard is so ugly!

as for bowls - IKEA has plenty of small wooden bowls. same size as that recent Kickstarter, but readily available and cheaper.
