Six ways to take your board game night to the next Level!
We are massive fans of Tabletop gaming here at Total Cards and we absolutely love sitting down with friends to play a few board games! Although all games can be enjoyed straight out of the box, we know that you can add extra features to your game night to take your appreciation to the next level! Check out these six ways that you can take your board game night to the next level!
Board Game Sleeves The first thing you can do to ensure that your game stands up to the test of time and to multiple playthroughs is to sleeve any cards that come with the game!! Any TCG player will tell you that cards can be fragile and need a good pair of sleeves to keep them in good condition. Although most TCGs constrain to a standard card size, the cards included in board games ten to vary a lot more! That's why we stock a wide array of sleeves to fit almost any size card imaginable. If you're thinking of picking up a game but aren't sure what size sleeves you'll need, just drop us a message in the comments below or on our social media and we'll be happy to assist!
Game Accessories Any game that you play regularly can be improved with the addition of accessories that make the game easier to play, organise or set up! A great example of this is the Betrayal at House on the Hill uprgrade kits and Gamegenic Hexadocs for Catan! Both of these streamline your playing experience, meaning that you don't have to worry about fiddly pieces whilst you play, allowing you to focus upon playing the game! Hexadocs are particularly useful in your game of Catan, allowing you to store all of your pieces, no longer will you have to frantically search for a road piece!!
Board Game Inserts Eventually any well loved game will see wear and the box will contain pieces in the wrong order or haphazardly jangling around inside! A great way to combat this is to grab some board game inserts that organise all of the pieces in a well thought out and space conscious manner. We stock a selection of inserts from E-raptor for your favourite games! The inserts are durable yet light and are an easy but effective upgrade for any game enthusiast!
Playmats If you have an expensive and durable gaming table with a soft surface, then you don't need to worry about scratching up your table or gaming pieces! However an affordable and highly effective way of protecting is with a playmat. We stock an overwhelming array of playmats primarily designed for TCGs, but we find that these are invaluable in making sure your kitchen table is scratch free and your cards, pieces and tokens remain in good condition for many years to come.
Extra Dice Extra dice always come in handy when playing any tabletop game. A missing set of dice can halt a game, and your enjoyment, for far too long. We stock tons of dice, in many designs, colours and sizes. We have large dice, if you struggle with reading smaller text and dice sets, designed for RPGs such as Dungeons & Dragons, but they also serve as great replacements for missing board game dice.
More Games!! This may sound like a silly suggestion, but we thoroughly recommend grabbing more games! Many popular games have expansions that build upon the fun of the base game and are often a more economic way of bringing excitement to a well-played game, rather than buy a completely new one!
