Wooden Components

Please note: Due to the way our wooden components for board games are manufactured, all pieces will experience a slight cutting variance between components. This may result in some pieces being a little smaller or having a slightly different shape than others.

Standard Meeple

Standard Meeple

Meeples are perfect with any game that requires you to play as a human (or humanoid) character, such as an adventure game. We have five stock colors (white, red, yellow, green, and blue) and are roughly 16mm tall.

Examples from existing games: Agricola, Terror in Meeple City


Wood game meeples pieces

Tall Meeple

Just like the variety of characters in your game there’s a variety of meeples to choose from. This is our ‘tall’ meeple that’s roughly 23mm tall.

Examples from existing games: Carcassonne, Cartagena


Standard Pawn

Standard Pawn

Pawns are one of the most flexible pieces to include in your game. They are simple enough that they will fit with almost any aesthetic. The standard pawn is our exclusive PrintNinja designed pawn. This piece is available in a variety of colors and measures about 25mm tall.


Halma Pawn

Halma Pawn

This pawn style was made famous when the Halma board game was introduced in the 80’s, hence the name Halma pawn. This piece is available in a variety of colors and measures about 25mm tall.

Examples from existing games: Halma


Wood game cubes pieces

Small Cubes

Wooden cubes are a great way to keep track of in-game currency or resources, since they are small and don’t take up a lot of room as the players start accumulating more of them. We have five stock colors (white, red, yellow, green, and blue) and the cubes measure about 8mm.

Examples from existing games: El Grande or Kingsburg


Large Cube

Large Cube

Sometimes a game needs to use a large size for the pieces to convey an importance factor, that’s where our large wooden cube comes into play. This piece is great for keeping track of in-game currency or resources, comes in five stock colors (white, red, yellow, green, and blue) and measures about 16mm.


Small Disc

Small Disc

Like wooden cubes, wooden discs are perfect for acting as counters, resources, or currency. The choice is purely a creative decision on your end. Our small disc measures 16mm in diameter and comes in five stock colors (white, red, yellow, green, and blue), but available in a variety upon request.

Examples from existing games: Crokinole


Large Disc

Large Disc

The biggest difference between the small disc and large (besides size) is the ability to print a sticker in the appropriate size that can be placed on your 20mm large disc in order to give it more purpose or character.


Thin Cylinder

Thin Cylinder

Our thin cylinder is 20mm high and 10mm in diameter, for a lengthy token. These pieces can be used for a variety of game mechanics, one popular option is seen in the board game Trouble, that has hollow cylinder holes for the player to set their marker in as they advance through the game.

Examples from existing games: KeeKee The Rocking Monkey


Thick Cylinder

Thick Cylinder

Our thick cylinder is 10mm high and 15mm in diameter, for a hefty token.

Octagon

This 8-sided wooden token flat smooth sides for easier dexterity and won’t roll too far when dropped. This token is 10mm high and 10mm in diameter.


Cone

Cone

These wooden cones are solid (not hollow) works of art, and are versatile in that they can represent characters or act as resource tokens. They are large 10mm in diameter and height, so they really stand out on a game board.


Tile

Tile

Thin wooden tiles, 4mm tall and 20mm in diameter, are great for laying out on your board or to make your board. You can print stickers to be set on the tile for a mechanic that allows users to flip over tiles to uncover information.

Stick

Our sticks are 25mm long and 5mm tall. Sticks are typically used to connect a long path or used as counters.

House

House

Examples from existing games: Settlers of Catan
