For XXL board games, you should also use XXL game pieces. We have collected some creative ideas for you to make your own.

Play figures tinkering with free natural products

If you want to play the XXL game in the garden, natural materials that blend in with the surroundings are ideal.
We have collected stones and shells for a mill game. Your kids are sure to have a lot of fun. You need 2 x 9 stones in two different colours for a mill game. The classic colours are white and black. That's why we spray-painted the stones black. The white shells were left as they are.
When making play figures, you can of course vary the colours and choose your favourite colours. Creativity and imagination are allowed and encouraged.

Masking tape always works - even for making play figures

For the play figures dice game, we once again used our beloved and versatile masking tape. You can play figures can be ordered online or bought in your favourite craft shop.

For the dice game you need 4 x 4 play figures. Wrap 4 each with the same masking tape. It's nice if the colour matches the playing field. But there are no limits to your imagination here either and you can also paint the figures together with your minis and make them colourful .

Craft alternative play figures

You can also easily design creative play figures for your XXL board game with your favourite figurines. Donkey, sheep and cow can be turned into your play figures in no time at all.

Young Tonie fans can also easily use their little friends as play figures. However, this requires real collectors who have multiple versions of some figures, like @hashtag_my_boys_and_me.
