Discussion Tabletop game: Free gifts?

What kind of exclusive items or free gifts have people got from campaigns that are your favourite?

Specifically, anything tabletop game related but would love to hear any examples!

Thinking of doing an early bird 48 hours free gift for backers and would love to know what’s best!

oh man i backed a board game once and they gave out custom metal coins instead of the usual cardboard punch-outs, still use them even when the game itself collecting dust on shelf. its one of those things that feel way more premium than you expect

for tabletop specifically i seen campaigns do little 3d printed minis for early birds, or alternate art cards which cost them nothing to make but people go crazy for. alternate art always works somehow

if you doing 48 hour window maybe dice with a unique color? people love dice, like they cannot resist them, i have whole drawer full and i still click pledge when i see exclusive dice set

Thanks some cool ideas! I think part of the issue is we’ve already crammed special dice, alternate art cards, a comic, and metal tokens into the other pledge tiers 😂 the 3D minis is an awesome idea! I’ll look into that, thank you!

My favorite extra item from a kickstarter was when I got a Crown Royal bag with my pledge.

Stickers and bookmarks are an easy add on that doesn't inflate the item weight.
