I made custom glass tokens [0] for Lord of the Rings card game and I’ll never play a premium game with plain cardboard again.
I used a guide from Board Game Geek to make the glass token [1]
Using jewelers resin to upgrade cardboard tokens is another option: https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/s/xwPU4jmUcS https://www.reddit.com/r/boardgames/s/xwPU4jmUcS

- cpach 3y agoVery nice!
- kwerk 3y agoThanks! It’s been a quality of life improvement
- bombcar 3y agoWhen I was playing board games often we had a supply of “substitute pieces” that we could use in many games; tokens, coins, die, meeples, etc. It’s often pretty easy to abstract out and use your own - the hardest is when there are cards and they’re not high-quality.
- kwerk 3y agoI like this idea. I ordered assorted mini dice as travel counters and 6mm cubes for action tracking
- bombcar 3y agoDepending on the game, large clickable “goldish” coins are awesome. Some games are better with ones that stack, others with ones that kind of heap. “Pieces of eight” can be ordered from the usual places.
- navbaker 3y agoI do the same for the three FFG LCGs I play. Chessex makes every color combo imaginable, so I was able to match LOTR, Arkham, and Marvel colors perfectly!
- hinkley 3y agoDo you know of a way to make them so they stack? I suppose you’d need cylindrical glass bits.
- kwerk 3y agoyes, the query is tricky but "glass round tiles" is pretty good" https://www.ebay.com/itm/255167139808 https://www.ebay.com/itm/255167139808
