What Extra Sculpts, Roundels, etc for custom G40 table and game

    Agreed! That would have been a lot for cardboard!

    They are not the cardboard ones. It was my idea to release them as a set and in the numbers that they are. They are expensive there’s no doubt about it and if you’re having trouble making ends meet then this is not a viable choice for you. For those who can afford it I can tell you that they are a huge upgrade over the cardboard roundels. To purchase enough of them to play a game would be just over $113, but this set is $75. The savings that they show you are based on 16 sets of 10 but realistically you would need 19 sets. Sure, you would get a few more roundels by purchasing 19 sets but you don’t need all of them. By only getting 5 France, 5 China, etc. you lower the price by $18.

    I came up with these numbers by playing a number of games and discovered that Japan, for example, needed more than 30 but less than 40 roundels. There might be the odd game where Italy becomes an absolute beast and takes over more than 15 territories but those games would be few and far between. You still have your cardboard roundels if something like that ever happens. My goal was to make up a set that would be somewhat affordable and I appreciate Doug’s efforts to make that possible.

    Well I�m glad you made this suggestion. Mine are on the way. Of course, if they don�t live up to all my expectations, I know who to blame. Ha!

    Pistols at dawn!!

    I’m sure you will like them and they will make your new table look even sweeter than it does. I wish I could come over and play a game now.


  • For factories you might consider monopoly pieces.
    Green houses an minor factories, red hotels as major factories.
    You don’t have to buy the whole game or disrupt your own.
    Just buy replacement houses and hotels on ebay. They come cheap.

    I had an anniversary copy of monopoly that had unpainted wooden houses and hotels. Since no one has played Monopoly in our house since my father in law and my wife’s grandmother got in a screaming match Thanksgiving Day, 2011 and didn’t speak for two years, I figured it was safe to commandeer them for the G40 table.


  • I actually made a killing using the Grey houses from some odd Monopoly Variant that had plastic houses which could stack on top of each other. I think I cornered the eBay market in gray houses.

    Edit. Found it, U-Build Monopoly. Grey is the industrial buildings
