Aesthetic Card Game Holders
Are you also annoyed by your game collection looking disorganized? The worst section in my game collection was the card games. With various heights, lengths, and colors, it wasn't something I wanted to be visible on my game shelf. I designed these card game holders in 5 different widths to snugly fit most card games. The height is the same for all of them, giving your collection a uniform look. Size Guide 19mm | Good for smaller decks like Rook 35mm | Good for standard decks like UNO 53.5mm | Good for larger decks like Skip-Bo
Custom Light Box
These light boxes bring designs to life using layers and light to create a stunning depth effect. Pick your design, choose your power option (wired or wireless), and share the name you want on your light box! The wired option comes with a charging brick with 2 USB-A ports. The wireless option comes with 3 AA batteries. Both options include the same controls for power and increasing/decreasing brightness.
Farming Game Piece Upgrades
Upgrade your Farming Game experience with this complete overhaul kit designed to fix the biggest frustrations of the original components. From magnetic resource spinners to organized money holders and personal trays, every piece is built for smoother, faster, more satisfying gameplay. Keep everything tidy, accessible, and ready for action right out of the box(es). Problems 1. Resource Tiles The cardboard puzzle piece resource tiles look nice in the packaging, but quickly become a disorganized mess when trying to take any out. I replace them with spinners. These spinners increase in the appropriate increment of their resource and have a satisfying mechanism that snaps into place at each increment. They also have a magnet on the back where you can connect the x2 sign to know when it's doubled. 2. Personal Money/Resource Holders This is a way to organize and easily move all your belongings during the game. The left side has slots for each denomination of cash, the right has slots for each denomination of debt as well as a place to hold OTBs. The front is a catch that holds the resource spinners as well as the tractor/harvester tiles. 3. The Bank Money/Debt Bills Each denomination of money and debt has its own holder that makes it super easy to put in/out of the box and move around the table as needed. Each holder has a raised center that makes it easy to pull bills out. Even if it's the last bill in the holder. 4. OTBs, Operating Expenses, and Farmers Fate Cards Similar to the money holders, each card has a holder with a raised center that makes it easy to pull cards out. But since each deck can be completely cycled through in a game, I designed a raiser that can be inserted in the holder that raises the deck in a way that makes it easy to draw from the bottom, and discard on top. This makes it so there is no separate discard pile and it's perpetually ready for play. 5. Pricing Sheet The large pricing sheet that comes with the game is great, but it's hard for everyone to see and takes up a lot of space on the table. I designed individual pricing sheets that are front and back (wheat & grain on one side, fruit & cows on the other). This way, there is a satisfying tactile experience when checking your earnings, and each person has their own. 6. Storage Having all these new tools is wonderful, but needing a place to keep them creates its own issue. I designed this so the money, debt, and cards can be left in their holders when put into the box. The standard game pieces and individual pricing sheets also fit in the box. The individual holders are separate, and then there is a small box that holds all the resource spinners, x2 signs, tractors, and harvesters. Here's information on what's included in each variation. 1. Full Set Includes all of my addons (does not include base game) 2. Resource Spinners Includes the spinners, x2 signs, tractors and harvester tiles, and the box for holding them together. 3. Personal Organizers Includes all 6 personal organizers made to match the colors of the farmer game pieces. 4. Bank & Card Holders Includes the holders for all denominations of money and debt. Also includes 3 holders for OTBs, Operating Expenses, and Farmers Fate Cards with inserts for no discard pile. 5. Pricing Sheets x6 Includes all 6 double-sided pricing sheets.
Mexican Trains Dominoes Piece Upgrades
My family loves playing Mexican Trains, and I decided to make a set of upgrades for it. Included in this set is a new hub for holding the starting double, and designed with train stations to perfectly hold each player's train. The hub is also the magnetic lid to a container that stores 8 trains. This hub was designed to fit the original trains that come with the game, but I'll also include custom trains made in the same color as the player trays for holding dominoes. That way, each player's tray can perfectly match their train's color. The colors included may vary slightly depending on what I have in stock, but they will be as close as possible to the photos shown and will always include sets of matching trays and trains. This is an upgrade set and does not include the base game.
Vegan Gluten-Free Food Table Sign
If you found this listing, you already know the value of identifying food on a serving table. I host a lot of events, and all of them have vegetarian food. Often there would also be options for vegan, gluten free, and sometimes dishes that are both vegan and gluten free. I tried a variety of signs, such as printed paper and chalkboard signs. The issue is that often the food is the last thing to be set up at an event, making it the point in an event where time matters the most. I found myself constantly scrambling to get the signs out as guests were arriving. I designed this sign to solve that issue. I could bring my stash of these, and then any sign could be grabbed and rotated to the appropriate side. It's been a huge time saver! There is also an optional case that holds 6 signs.
Web Development
If you want a website or web application that solves a problem or does something really cool, it's probably possible! From a conference styled application with schedule, map, photo scavenger hunt, and more to a digital time clock app for employees to clock in and out while requiring them to verify at a physical station, the options are limitless! Whether you are coming with a concrete idea or a need that needs to be met, let's connect! If you want to talk about details before placing your order, send me an email at john@boone.click.
Customer Reviews
“Very innovative and streamlined design. I love it! Some of the images on the pieces are bit blurry but that certainly doesn’t affect the playability. Exactly as described and fast shipping.”
