I was really rooting for that poor green X Trayz, we are heading back to the shop to work on reinforced car safe trayz next. 😁
I use the clear plastic X-Trayz. Perfect for most small components. Lids fit on tight and they stack nicely if needed.
Thanks for the warning about driving over them with a car. Game boxes don't fair any better.
I had such high hopes they would survive lol
The music is drowning out your voice
I'm so glad everyone watched this, what aftermarket products should get reviewed next?
- Coins (metal/plastic) to replace the cardboard/paper currency in a game.
- dice trays
- plastibands
Perhaps a list of accessories.
@@brianthomson3095 Great list, I have those Roxley Iron Clays so maybe they will be next!
Sleeves
Inserts (not just Broken Token, but also others like TowerRex, LaserOx or FoldedSpace)
Folded Space foam core inserts
Hmmm... Then I guess shipping them from US to PH doesn't have that much risk of shipment damage. Would be great if they could come up with a list of games and how many of which xtrayz are needed for those games.
Right?! Game Trayz REALLY needs to get on that! :)
I usually know what I will be playing on the day so I prep pieces into a fishing tackle tray before going out, that way we can just pass it around, and set it aside to free up tablespace.
I can't be that prepared all the time! Good alternative though.
What a great video! I must say I was hesitant about these because I figured eh, just another plastic component holder-but boy was I wrong. I might purchase these instead next time. 👍🏼
Thanks so much! We had a great time pushing them to their limits! :>
Dollar tree has 10 for $1 containers that come in round and square (better option) sizes. They are not the cheap flimsy ones you get for sauces.
I use these as well. Such a better deal. I bought $5 worth and got 50 haha. They are a lot stronger than game trays.
@@benlauson555 I'll take a look at them next time I see them!
Also in the tool section they have multi compartment plastic organizers. They are perfect!
I thought she contributes to Gameboy Geek? Didn’t know she does it here too.
I did the Kickstarter segment on Board Game Breakfast live for awhile but I'm doing aftermarket reviews now! Still produce 3 videos a week on Gloryhoundd and work with GameBoyGeek.
Not sure I see the point of driving your car over one. That just seemed like a waste. I picked up a bunch of these from the BGG Store on clearance, so about a buck a piece, and I’m happy with them. I wish I had more!
There was a rumor they could withstand a car so it was worth a shot, I mean what if it worked!
I’ve looked at these before. I assumed people bought a set and then used one set and interchanged pieces for all their games. Do most folks buy sets for each game or share them?
I buy sets for each game
I have some games where I use them in the box but I always keep 8 around for when I'm playing games.
If the tray(s) fit in the box, i use them for the game ... convenient.
@@brianthomson3095 Right now I have X Trayz in Terraforming Mars, It's a Wonderful World and Lost Ruins of Arnark off the top of my head. I have a few other games that could really use them too!
I think my issue with the trays I've seen is they have no weight. They get pushed around too easily.
they're too expensive to use as storage... looked like you use 20 or 30 of them for one game lol thats like another 60$ worth of trays for each game... at that price you can just buy a custom storage tray for the game. I think most people want to use them to store bits during gameplay, in which case you only need a handful of empty ones on hand... and for the latter use case, many alternatives are available such as silicon muffin cups
They are around $2 and I use them more for the table. I like the scoopability of them compared to baggies and muffin cups but I've used those too.
As a person who tries to fit all my games in as little boxes as possible(number not size, all hail the big box) my main concern is if they can fit in my box. I am not up for trying it out on a game only to undo the work due to the box overfilling.
I usually just use 3-4 trays the fiddliest and most used component types (like coins) and leave the rest (like player tokens) in baggies.
Agreed with BenRangel I wouldn't use them for every component but when you can fit multiple things in one it really does save on space and setup time.
Investing in a 3D printer to print custom inserts is the wisest option.
But I just want to play the games not engineer them! Last thing I need is another thing to spend my hobby money on lol
@@GloryHounddPresents You don't have to do any designing. Just about any game you could want an insert for or custom components for already has one designed and shared for free on the various 3D printing sites, such as Thingaverse.
Being at the bottom of a bag with games on top is a good scenario to test for. Being run over by a car should be considered way beyond reasonable design limits.
If it would have worked though it would have been epic. They did survive all those heavy games so they definitely put up with more than I expected.
I don't quite understand the hype around Gametrayz. The plastic is thin and cheap looking. If they were better quality and more enviroment-friendly, they might be an alternative...
Just came here to say the same thing! They are fine as inserts to help organise a game in the box, but I would much rather have ceramic or glass ramekins during gameplay as it feels much more premium! And likely cheaper too as most homeware stores have them
I haven't found a better plastic option yet, without naming competing brands I've tried 5 other ones that were thinner and/or had less space inside but Game Trayz don't work for everyone 😀
@@JonoNZBoardGamer I like glass as an option too but when one gets knocked off the table I prefer Game Trayz! That all depends on the general clumsiness of your friends, kids and pets though.
I mix using wooden inserts that both "store&present" with otherwise combining simple bags for storage with regular bowls for presenting/game. So either a "super sturdy and lasting" (admittably more expensive) combined solution or just something where you can easily pour contents back and forth...
@@astrophe-cat makes sense!
I think they are completely redundant pieces of ugly plastic. I'm surprised so many people use them. Storage : I use zip bags.
Presentation: Glass or bamboo bowls.
And by the way, the lounge music during the video was rather annoying to me.
