Description

Kickstart your entry for the 2021 Small Box Challenge, or other projects with this Small Stout Box full of blank/white components. It's compact, and perfect for those who want to play with sample pieces before building and ordering their games.

Includes 75 pieces:

  • 25+ wooden pieces (meeples, cubes, discs, stackers, and other shapes)
  • 17 Playing Cards (1 in every size)
  • 10 Mix N Match Small Chits (arrows, circles, squares, and more)
  • 3 reference "cheat sheets"
  • 3 Mats (US game mat, flower mat, invader mat)
  • 3 Mini Tiles (square, circle, hex)
  • 3 Rings (small, medium, large)
  • 3 Standees (small, medium, large)
  • 2 Glass Gems (transparent and opaque)
  • 1 Blank Wood D6
  • 1 Small Player Screen
  • 1 Card Envelope
  • 1 Small Stout Box
  • 1 Box Insert

This is not a "game design kit," but a collection of blank samples for designers who want to see, feel, and inspect sample components up-close before ordering prototypes. All the wood and glass parts included this box are white, but the majority of them are available to order in 6-8 standard colors (black, blue, green, orange, purple, red, white, and yellow).

All items will be packed and shipped inside a blank Small Stout Box, with a Cheat Sheet to help compare sizes, identify each component, and see the available colors for small parts (but inventory can change, so you should double-check the current availability on thegamecrafter.com)

Proceeds from this item help support the time and costs required to host the 2021 Small Box Challenge.

UPDATE: The "Pyramid, White" has been discontinued by TGC and will no longer be included in the box (though it is still listed on the cheat sheet).
