Board Game Accessories You Didn’t Know You Needed
Let’s be honest — the right accessory can turn a good game night into a great one. And the wrong setup (hello, flying cards and lost tokens) can turn Catan into chaos.
If you’ve been playing board games for a while, you already know the little frustrations. Tiny baggies that rip, disorganized boxes, endless setup time. But here’s the good news: there’s an accessory for everything.
Whether you’re a casual gamer or a full-blown shelf-of-shame collector, here are the upgrades that actually make game night better.
Game Organizers & Inserts
Say goodbye to box chaos. Inserts keep every token, tile, and mini right where it belongs. They make setup 5x faster and cleanup almost painless.
Foam Core Organizers
Try foam core organizers for a lightweight, budget-friendly way to keep all your tokens, cards, and minis in perfect order. They’re easy to assemble and won’t add bulk to your game boxes.
Wooden Inserts
For a more premium touch, upgrade to Broken Token wooden inserts — beautifully crafted organizers that make setup and cleanup almost as satisfying as the game itself. Both styles are available on Amazon and fit a wide range of popular board games.
Dragon Shield Card Sleeves
Protect your cards (and your sanity) with Dragon Shield Sleeves, available on Amazon. These fan-favorite sleeves are known for their durability, smooth shuffle feel, and long-lasting clarity. With dozens of color options, you can match every deck to your style — or your faction loyalty.
Loke Battle Mats
Bring your tabletop adventures to life with Loke Battle Mats, like the Towns & Taverns edition found on Amazon. Each spiral-bound book folds flat to reveal beautifully illustrated, wipe-clean maps that instantly elevate your RPG sessions. Perfect for DMs who want immersive worlds without hours of setup.
MTG Deck Box with Commander Display and Dice Tower
Keep your decks and dice protected with the MTG Deck Box with Commander Display and Dice Tower, available on Amazon. It fits up to 100 double-sleeved or 220 unsleeved cards, includes a built-in dice tray, and is scratch-resistant and portable — perfect for Magic nights on the go.
3-in-1 Dice Tower and Tray Set
Or, try a 3-in-1 Dice Tower and Tray Set, complete with a storage drawer and rolling platform. Whether you’re at home or traveling to a tournament, these compact towers keep your rolls fair and your dice in check.
Metal Coins
Add a little luxury to your next game night with Stonemaier Games Metal Coins — solid, weighty pieces that make every purchase, trade, or treasure find feel that much more satisfying.
Dry-Erase Token Set
Pair them with a Dry-Erase Token Set, also available on Amazon, to replace paper trackers and clutter with a clean, reusable upgrade. Both options combine function with serious table appeal.
Setting the Mood
Set the perfect gaming mood with a Philips Hue Light Strip, letting you adjust your lighting to match the tone of your game — from cozy tavern glow to sci-fi neon.
An Atmospheric Touch
Or, for a more atmospheric touch, try tabletop RPG candles, crafted to evoke immersive scents like “Dungeon,” “Forest,” or “Wizard’s Study.” They’re a simple way to make every session feel like a cinematic experience.
