Agricola: Custom Game Pieces
« on: October 31, 2013, 08:58:43 pm »

I've recently made a set of Agricola tokens to replace the ones that came in the box. They are made of clay and are handmade, and includes all 228 pieces for building materials, agricultural products, foods, and animal tokens.

Personally, I think they enhance the playing experience. I'm considering making a few more sets for some friends. What do you guys think? Do you think it makes the game more lively? (They don't necessarily have to be the ones in the photos). Any feedback is welcome!

These are awesome! I definitely think they would enhance the game experience.

That looks really cool.
I think theres something like this that you can buy. Dont look as good as those, IMO.

Thanks for the feedback.

There are some selling on Etsy, too. Do you remember where you saw the other set? I'd be very interested to take a look at them.

If I could sell some to Agricola fans, that'd be fun, even if I don't make a profit. How much do you think I could sell a set of these for?

I would love to have these, but sadly, they would cost me too much :P  You could probably make a decent amount of money for them.

You can compare the mass produced wooden ones here:

I'm guessing for a true Agricola fan you'd be able to get in the $50-$75 range for handmade, but it's a really, really small market there.

Kirian, thanks for the info. I agree with you. Costing more than the game itself, only true die-hard fans would buy it.

I am thinking if I were to sell them, I'd sell them for no more than 30 bucks, so that regular Agricola players would be able to enjoy them too. Do you think that'll work?

Thanks for the comment, AHoppy.

How much is too much? I've thought about making and selling these at bare minimums just to cover my costs. After all, I love making crafts, and it'd be a bonus just to know that I have improved others' gaming experience :)

Being a college student and wanting to buy other games rather than pay to improve my current one, it doesn't take much to make it a lot :P  I had a special soft spot for Dominion, but I don't really pay for special components... I have made my own custom boxes and bought/modified one for Dominion.  So as much as I would like them, I feel like they would be worth at least $40+, and I can buy a new game for that...
