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

When 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.

I like this idea. I ordered assorted mini dice as travel counters and 6mm cubes for action tracking

Do you know of a way to make them so they stack? I suppose you’d need cylindrical glass bits.

yes, the query is tricky but "glass round tiles" is pretty good" https://www.ebay.com/itm/255167139808
