Quick answer
Speakeasy Wooden Money Tokens are a Kickstarter-upgrade set that replaces the cardboard money in the Speakeasy board game with 2mm thick wooden tokens, plus a cloth bag for storage. They work exactly like the original money but feel heavier and last longer.
Why upgrade from cardboard to wooden tokens?
The cardboard money that comes with Speakeasy is functional but can wear, bend, or get marked after repeated play. Wooden tokens are thicker (2mm) and screen-printed on both sides, so they hold up better during shuffling and passing. They also add a tactile weight that makes transactions feel more satisfying.
One trade-off: the wooden tokens are slightly thicker than cardboard, so they may feel a bit snug in the game insert. The set is designed to fit if you remove the cardboard tokens entirely, but you cannot store both sets together in the same slot.
What comes in the upgrade set?
The Speakeasy Wooden Money Tokens include a full set of 2mm thick wooden tokens with screen printing on both sides. It also comes with a silkscreened cloth money bag for storage. The bag is large enough to hold all tokens and makes setup and cleanup faster.
Frequently asked questions
Do the wooden tokens work with the base game?
Yes. They are designed as a direct replacement for the cardboard money in Speakeasy. The denominations and quantities match the original, so you can use them without any rule changes.
Will they fit in the game box?
Yes, they fit in the game insert if you remove the cardboard money tokens. Because the wooden tokens are thicker, you cannot store both sets in the same slot at once. Remove the cardboard money before storing the wooden set.
How do I clean the wooden tokens?
Wipe them gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking them in water or using harsh cleaners, as moisture can damage the wood and the screen printing. Keep them dry to preserve the print and wood surface.
Can I use these tokens for other games?
Possibly, but they are sized and denominated specifically for Speakeasy. The tokens are 2mm thick and have a standard poker-chip feel, so they could work as generic currency in other games that use similar denominations. However, the screen printing is themed for Speakeasy, so they may not fit every game's aesthetic. Check the denominations and theme before using them outside Speakeasy.
