Quick answer

The 5 Brown Trays for Tokens, Resources, and Eggs from Stonemaier Games keep your game bits sorted, accessible, and spill-free during play. Use them to streamline setup, passing, and cleanup.

Why dedicated trays beat random containers

Generic bowls or baggies don't lock together, so tokens can scatter when you pass them around the table. The 5 Brown Trays snap shut with a top and bottom that seal tightly, making them ideal for resource tokens, eggs, or any small game bits.

A common trade-off: the tight seal means you have to pinch opposite sides to open them. That's a small effort for the benefit of no accidental spills during a heated game round.

How to organize your game bits with 5 Brown Trays

  1. 1. Sort tokens by type: Separate your game's tokens, resources, or eggs into logical groups (e.g., food, wood, stone, eggs). Assign one tray per type. This avoids mixing bits during play. Common mistake: overloading a tray with mixed tokens. Stick to one type per tray for quick access.
  2. 2. Snap the trays shut securely: Press the top and bottom together until you hear or feel them lock. The seal is tight, so confirm all edges are engaged before passing. Checkpoint: give each tray a gentle shake before passing. If you hear rattling, it's sealed correctly.
  3. 3. Pass trays around the table: During setup or gameplay, hand a closed tray to another player. They can open it by pinching opposite sides. This keeps tokens from rolling off the table. Common mistake: trying to pry the tray open from one side. Always pinch opposite edges to release the lock.
  4. 4. Use trays as communal bowls: Place open trays in the center of the table for shared resources. Their low profile lets multiple players reach in without knocking over other components. Checkpoint: if the tray tips, the seal won't help—keep it on a flat surface when open.
  5. 5. Clean up in seconds: When the game ends, snap each tray shut and stack them. No need to rebag or sort again until next session. Wipe with a damp cloth if needed. Common mistake: leaving tokens loose in the box. Use the trays as permanent storage to save setup time next game.
