    Board Game Thingy

    A lot of old boardgames used cardboard pieces rather than plastic or metal figures. To make the cardboard pieces stand up straight, they would be wedged in between two strips of plastic connected to a base.

    These bases, these oh so simple plastic bases, must have a name. And I must know how to get more of them. Please. Thank you.

    They would be called Bases, or Stands.

      Yes, well, it's kind of hard to ebay for Base or Stand. I'm trying to find some hobby website that sells old bits.

        You could make your own out of heavy cardboard stock.

                    It would appear that they are called card stands. And I have found them. Huzzah. Thanks?

                      Huzzah?? No one's said "Hazzah" since the Civil War.

                      Upon hearing said word, I must go thither. ------>

                        Hey - you drew Lancer out of "retirement" - so it was a good thread.

                        Edit: and Thorn's not dead... HUZZAH!

                        Now if only Wiglaf would come back. Nah - nevermind.
