Wooden pieces
Wood components are the quiet workhorses of tabletop games. They’re universal, cost-effective, and they instantly make a game feel tactile—especially when players are picking them up every turn.
Sunday Games supports a wide range of wooden shapes and sizes, from standard pawns, meeples, cubes, discs, and triangles to fully custom silhouettes. For finishing, we can paint for bold, easy-to-read colors, or use laser engraving when you want crisp details and consistent markings.
Tell us what the pieces need to do on the table—count, stack, stand, or signal factions—and we’ll recommend a shape and finish that fits your gameplay and budget.

Wood pieces are simple—until colors vary between batches, edges chip, or symbols disappear at arm’s length. Players handle these parts constantly, so they need to feel good in hand, read clearly on the table, and stay consistent across the whole production run.
Wood is also one of the most versatile components in board games: cubes, discs, meeples, pawns, triangles, and custom silhouettes that can carry a lot of gameplay meaning with very little complexity.
Start with size and wood choice
Choose a size that matches how the piece is used—stacking, area control, counting resources, or standing upright. Wood choice and tolerances affect weight, durability, and how well paint or engraving holds.
Common pitfalls we help prevent:
Pieces that are too small to handle comfortably or too large for crowded boards
Chipping or splintering on sharp corners
Inconsistent dimensions that don’t stack or fit trays cleanly
Choose shape and color
Standard shapes work well for most games, and custom shapes are available when you want stronger theme or faster table recognition. Color decisions should prioritize contrast and readability, especially across factions or resource types.
Common pitfalls we help prevent:
Colors that look too similar under warm indoor lighting
Batch-to-batch variation that breaks set consistency
Custom shapes with thin “weak points” that break in handling
Select surface treatment
Finish determines how the pieces feel and how well markings survive play. Painting is great for bold, readable color. Laser engraving is ideal for crisp symbols and fine detail that stays consistent.
Common pitfalls we help prevent:
Paint rubbing or showing uneven coverage on edges
Engraving that’s too shallow to read after finishing
Symbols that are too thin or small to stay clear in production
Send your files
Send your shape drawings or vectors and any symbol artwork. We’ll review line weight, minimum feature size, and any geometry that may cause breakage or inconsistent finishing.
Align on the production plan
We’ll confirm dimensions, colors, marking method, and packing requirements, then lock a plan that scales reliably.
Get custom samples
Samples verify real-world feel, color accuracy, and symbol clarity—so what you approve is what players receive.
Approve, then scale
Once the sample matches your spec, we start mass production.
