The best dice bag is actually made by a Canadian whiskey company, called Crown Royal. It's nice because you also get whiskey with your bag.

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.

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.

Commercial for the “Stealth Dice Tower”: A pair of assassins break into their targets room and he is asleep. One of them walks over to him with a knife and stops. The other one asks “what’s wrong?” He replies: “I need to roll to see if my attack hits but my dice are too loud!” “Here use my Stealth Tower!” Zee Garcia walks in: “Never worry about waking up your targets again with the Zee Garcia Stealth Tower!”

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. Mash shuffling unsleeved cards well is impossible. I sleeve pretty much all my cards. Sleeves keep my cards in near mint condition but also feel great to handle.

My must-have are different size zip lock bags for storing cards and accessories (Walmart, craft stores); a ton of little containers from the dollar store to hold the extra components while playing; and draw/dice bags. Dice towers are a nice, as long as they are padded inside to be quiet! Dice trays are good too. Start player app? Just grab a die and everybody rolls for first player. I always keep a couple of larger 20d at the table for just that purpose for games that don't have dice. Great video as always!

Meinl standard Cajon bag from Amazon. Similar to the ChromaCast bag that Zee talked about. It is a top-loaded bag and it can carry more games and different sized games. However, there is no convenient shoulder strap. Still, for the fact that I can carry about a half a dozen games from card packs to Lisboa, that is my winner.

A year late, but I personally really like deck boxes. They hold a lot of cards, and protect them. They can be used for tokens and such as well. Often times they do fit in boxes, but there are other times where they don't. Standard boxes work well with these, and they are great to make partitions with in the box.

I love accessories for any game. I'm the kind of person that has spent more money on custom game pieces than the game itself cost (on multiple occasions). Nice sleeves for any and all cards that have sleeves for their size in production, Ultimate Guard twin cases games like Hero Realms, Dominion, etc. Custom wooden box to fit Carcassonne and all it's expansions, a ton of awesome dice, making plaster molds to cast pewter pieces for Reign of Cthulhu, etc. Us gamers, we have little to complain about in terms of accessories!

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.

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.

I like printing custom tuck boxes for games with out them. It's difficult to find for some games, but a lot of people have uploaded files, and if you've got the chops, you can design your own using a template. It beats rubber bands or even tape. It's certainly slightly more expensive (1-2 dollars per deck), and time consuming to get them printed at an office store. But I love them.

Definitely the most useful "accessory" for me is a games collection app that keeps track of every game you own, and can quickly tell you games for x number of players. Also, being able to record when / who you play with and keep track of the scores / wins / losses etc, number of times played etc. Also, a simple game timer / turn app can really help speed up player turns.

Luggable loo could be an option. Extra dice can be nice. Sometimes couldn't phones help with secret negotiations for games such as Dune or Twilight Imperium?

Hugo's Tape ... read reviews on Amazon ... some said that it discolored cards and other things it was left on for some while ... maybe has to do with sun heat or humidity exposure. Anyone notice this?

With regard to Hugo's magic tape. There's a much cheaper much more readily available option. It's just not exactly family friendly. Bondage Tape. Bondage Tape is exactly the same thing. It sticks to itself (and not skin or hair or more importantly cards or plastic). It comes in many different colors and if you aren't an adult or are unwilling to enter the sort of shop you'd need to enter to buy it in person. You can buy it online from Amazon and it ships in a relatively family friendly box and packaging. It's usually about an inch wide like Hugo and you can cut it in half to make it more narrow and it's still perfectly fine.

Instead of Hugo's expensive tape u can use exercise gauss. Cheap and many colors/sizes. Has similar properties to those described.

I break my games down to fit in tackle boxes. Especially the ones with trays that can then be carried in a mother ship. They are cheap and can be bought at Wal-Mart. I keep the original boxes and just store them, but keep the tackle boxes out to grab easily.

Dude! Using a Cajon (drum) bag for transporting games is brilliant!

Cajon Bags don't fill them with games. The plastic casing on the handle broke; aside from that. Handy and affordable

Mr S get the Game Haul Bag from the Meepillow people. It’s a Cajon bag, but reinforced for games. Better padding and handle. $10 more, but worth it.

My favorite game bag that is affordable is the Broken token game bag. They are basically glorified duffel bags but their structure is square, and the bottom is the size of a typical game box. You can get them for $30 or less, and I've got 5. They hold 10-15 games easily (Though they get heavy)

Meeple Source has some wooden coins that I use to keep track of scores in all of my games that don't already come with a score board. I like the metal coins, but I have a real obsession with wooden components.

I'm surprised no one said Card Sleeves. It's literally the only accessory that I feel that I have to buy in order to make sure my game is properly preserved through the years. Not only does it make it easier to shuffle, but shuffling without them feels like I'm actually damaging my game. Strongly recommend these, specially for new players that either don't know how to shuffle correctly or that have that ONE friend that likes to squeeze the cards a little too hard with their sweaty little fingers.

For me buying inserts is way too expensive. But I started making inserts myself. They are not as heavy as the wood ones since I use form core.

I keep two sets of coins (one at work and one at home -- the two places I game most). Viticulture and Scythe sets are beautiful and functional, and work with any of the games I play without diverging to far from the theme already in play.

I use the scythe coins and don't even own the game. They are cheap and work thematically with many games. (except the pennies are strange)
