Token Holders for Board Games

A lot of board games come with piles of tokens, small miniatures, and more. A good container can keep them organized and make them easy to use in play. Here are reviews of containers that I've used.

Measurement Techniques

Price is the base price and shipping for 6 containers, or as close as possible, divided by the number of containers ordered. Details on the pricing are in the full reviews.

Exterior is a rough measurement of the longest length along each axis.

Interior is a rough measurement of the longest length along each axis. It is less accurate, as the interiors are not generally square.

Volume was measured by zeroing out a scale with the container on it, then filling the container with as much tap water as possible. The weight in grams is taken to be volume.

Cubes and tokens packed the container as full as possible while still being able to close the container. However, if filling the container completely would likely lead to pieces falling out when the container was opened (notably, Stonemaier Game's Plastic Resource Containers), I only filled it to the level that felt stable; typically slightly overflowing.
