There is a sale of blank components at The Game Crafter, because they have an ungodly surplus of them. Until november 15th they go for 3 cents each. news.thegamecrafter.com/post/65137725878/3-cent-sale-at-the-game-crafterOf particular interest are the 2 inch tiles. They are die-cut cardboard, which can save a lot of time, and 2 inches which is the usual width multiplier for a -lot- of structures. Normally they'd be unaffordable... at 24 cents each, I'd just make my own. www.thegamecrafter.com/parts/blank-small-square-tileThat, or 8 inch circular spinner mats... Not sure what I'd do with those, but you might find them a use. Templates maybe? For those of you in the States I guess shipping won't be too harsh and would make this worth your time.

I purchase a whole bunch of blank coasters which are rounded corner squares measuring 4 by 4 inches. I was using them originally to base my Hirst Arts dungeon tiles on! Look very similar to the tiles you listed above! I've also started using them to put tents on for my western game that I'm working on right now. Should be starting it in a couple of weeks.

great find! unfortunately shipping to my place (germany) is ungodly expensive... *sight* I bet it is! The only reason I bought some was that I already had a shipment of my own boardgames incoming and the tiles didn't add to the shipping cost.

Coasters are probably thicker and sturdier too. Nice find on blank ones, where did you get them?

I don't remember where I got them for sure, I'll need to look at an unopened pack when I get home to see if the name is still on them, but with a Google search, I just found this company... Etsy Lady Bug Press
