Whimsical Component Names for 10 of Our Games

Published: Tue 1st Apr

In the spirit of April Fools, I asked Stonemaier Ambassadors to share their whimsical alternative names for components in our games. Here are some of my favorites:

10. Stamp Swap: cancelled stamps = postal errors
9. Expeditions: guile = brains; power = fists
8. Finspan: eggs = boba, cuties, jellies
7. Wingspan: cavity nests = Canadian nests and egg nest (yes, a nest for eggs made of eggs)
6. Wyrmspan: gold = butter; meat = The Beef
5. Viticulture: worker = Yoda
4. Red Rising: first player = banana
3. Scythe: oil drum = Busch Light; food = honey pot
2. Apiary: fiber = caterpillars or wormies; wax = Rollo
1. Tapestry: worker = Baymax; money = clam
