Tell us all about the cool components you have for your games.

Puerto Rico - I splurged on the Anniversary edition.
Agricola - I got the original Zman components and added farmers. I also have little bricks for clay and actual stone for stone.
Notre Dame - I have little rats for the rat track

I'm not sure we have pimped any of our games. We have the metal miniatures for Wings of War/Glory, but I don't really think you can play without them.

Then we have the De Luxe edition of War of the Ring. Our mah-jongg is rather nice and fancy.

I forgot that I replace the little plastic ziplock bags for component storage with wedding favor bags of the appropriate size. The gusseted bags work really well for cards. I also replace cloth bags with satin or velvet bags. It makes it real easy to determine which games are mine at a convention :-).

My mah-jongg set it fairly nice, but definitely not top of the line.

I added metal racing cars to Formula De - but some games come with such great parts they don't need any help.

Thanks! Has anyone here played Finca? Nice board, graphics, thick cardboard for some pieces, colorful wood pieces for others.
