Twilight Imperium Fourth Edition - 3D Printed Tokens

last updated November 5th, 2025 — created May 31st, 2023

After trying to find a way to offer color-specific tokens that aren't as crazy expensive as laser cut acrylic, we decided to print our own. It took a few attempts to get colors we were happy with. They are comparable in size and shape to the cardboard faction-specific tokens, but are thicker for easier handling.

Color-Based Tokens

We've had some questions as to why we prefer the color-based command/control tokens over the provided faction-based tokens. The reason is because your faction's primary representation on the board is your miniatures, which are color-based. Adding faction-based tokens created confusion during several of our games, particularly for factions that are similarly colored or those whose symbols are similar.

In the example, the first picture shows use of the faction-based tokens. It's difficult to tell which player controls each planet and which players have activated systems (even if you have memorized all of the faction symbols) because several of them are so similar. Also worth noting, these pictures were taken much closer to the game board than any player is likely to be sitting. With color-based tokens, it's much easier to tell what's going on at a glance. Having said that, we understand that ordering laser cut tokens is very expensive. So there are STLs to 3D print your own set above. We've also seen players use the closest colored tokens from the game, ignoring faction symbols. UPDATE: The Thunder's Edge Expansion comes with color-based tokens that can be used instead of faction-based ones. :)

Twilight Imperium Fourth Edition

NEW3D Printed Insert

This is the 4th insert we've designed for TI4. It's our greatest one yet! :)

NEWTI4 Companion App

Our TI4 games have overtaken our massive table. We designed this app to manage the planet and tech cards taking over our play areas.

Galaxy Mats

Many players wanted a nice game mat to place on their hard-top table, so we made this galaxy mat and have updated it several times to fit requests.

Acrylic Tokens

We designed these laser cut acrylic tokens before we started 3D printing. They're pretty expensive, but awesome if you want that extra flare.

3D Printed Hyperlane Tiles

We printed these hyperlane tiles to make it easier to setup the Hyperlanes variant if you're playing with 3, 5, or 7 players.

Tabletop Projects

This is what we came up with for the center of a Venn diagram between "Wants a big fancy gaming table" and "Doesn't want to spend thousands on it".

Runebound Second Edition

We made an expansions icon reference sheet so we could easily see which content belongs to what expansion.

Codex: Card-Time Strategy

Our main design goals were to have them fit in the box without rolling/folding, have a low-profile patrol zone, and have a large play area.

World of WarCraft: The Board Game

We created a few fix-it stickers per the Errata listed in the FAQ.

Tyrants of the Underdark

We had a crazy hard time finding short descriptions for all of the decks so we created this one to have a handy reference.

Adrenaline

We were unaware of the new expansion's team bases until after our minis were re-based, but made these 3D Printed counterparts that work with our custom bases.

StarCraft: The Board Game

This is a rework of the unit reference from the expansion rulebook and a player reference for each faction's buildings, modules, and orders.

Legacy of Dragonholt

We don't track the entries that we go through, so we decided it'd be a lot easier to have all our story tracking on one sheet.

HOPE

We had some questions and the only FAQ we could find was in French, so we compiled all the answers we could find into one printable booklet.

Alchemists

We adjusted the sheets, bought some minimal-border picture frames and wet-erase markers, put it all together, and now have reusable boards.

Chaostle

This is our approach to character skill reference labels. They are designed to be adhered to the backs of your character cards.

WarCraft: The Board Game

We wanted to have a token to track the first player, so we tossed this one together.

Tabletop Projects

We originally created this to replace a marker in Magic Maze, but it's so great for passing around that we now use it as a generic first person or turn marker.

Alchemists

We didn't like playing on the shallow shelf that folds out of the cauldron pieces, so we made deeper shelves out of a bit of foam core.

Earth Reborn

We drafted a 3D model of the vacuum insert tray based on the measurements file from Ludically.

Tabletop Projects

We store most of our games vertically on IKEA Kallax shelves for ease of access and reset during cleanup so they set up faster.
