I'm toying around with this mechanic in which you roll 2 D6 and the resulting number (2 - 12) allows you to collect the corresponding event token (numbered 2 - 12). You can roll multiple times per turn, collecting multiple tokens. The simple/easy thing would be to make tokens representing each event, line them up, and have the player move them aside when they roll them. The issue I'm envisioining is passing 11 tokens around the table and keeping them nice and tidy, in order. I envision this being sloppy and causing a lot of time rearranging the tokens. Does anyone know of any switchboard style gizmos other games have used where tokens are on tracks or something that could display these tokens as either taken or not taken, while limiting movement of individual tokens? I guess another option is making a set of 11 for each player, but I'd like to limit pieces if possible. I'd also like to not have it be in the center because I find it hard for shorter people (kids) to reach the center of larger dining / gaming tables.
Edit: I'm dumb. A board with each event in ascending order with tokens indicating rolled would work. Tokens wipe off quickly and easily and board events are clean and never move. Anyway, if anyone has any other unique ideas, I'd still like to hear.
