Board Game Accessories FAQ: Sleeves, Standees, and Dice

Quick answer

Prioritize card sleeves if you play often, add standees for table presence, and choose dice that match your game's style. For Tic Tac K.O., the Team Evil sleeves protect your deck; the Casting Shadows standee set adds character display; and the Here to Slay dice set brings themed rolls to your table.

Why card sleeves matter more than you think

Cards wear out from shuffling, gripping, and the occasional spilled drink. Sleeves absorb that wear, keeping cards playable and preserving their look. For games like Tic Tac K.O., where cards are handled constantly, a set of 50 sleeves covers a full deck and then some. Purple sleeves also make it easy to spot your team's cards on a crowded table.

Standees: more than just decoration

Standees can replace tokens or minis during play, giving you a clear visual marker for characters. The Casting Shadows standee set includes acrylic figures sized between 2 and 3.5 inches, so they stand out on the board without taking over. When the game is over, they double as desk toys—a nice way to keep the fun visible.

Dice: when a themed set is worth it

If your game uses D6s, a themed set can add flavor and make rolling more fun. The Here to Slay dice set includes four 16mm D6s, two for each class, so you have enough for most rolls. They're not essential, but they're a small upgrade that makes each turn feel special.

Board game accessory FAQ

Do I really need card sleeves?

If you play a game regularly, sleeves prevent edge wear and shuffling damage. For occasional play, they're optional but still help keep cards pristine. Sleeve the cards you shuffle most.

How many sleeves come in a pack?

The Tic Tac K.O. Team Evil sleeves include 50 per pack, which is enough for a standard deck.

Can standees be used during the game?

Yes, they can mark character positions on the board. They're also sturdy enough to display on a shelf or desk. Use them on the table, then show them off.

Are the Here to Slay dice standard size?

They are 16mm D6s, which is a common size for board games, so they'll fit most dice trays and hands.

What's the best first accessory to buy?

Start with sleeves if you want to protect your investment. Then add standees or dice for visual and tactile fun. Protect first, personalize later.
