Make it personal without making it generic
Match substitute shapes, contrast, weight, and labels to how the household actually plays.
Presentation
Set the repaired closed box on the table with the contents card tucked under the lid.
Check the practical fit
- Space
- Everything must fit back into the original box or one agreed protective outer box.
- Skill
- Simple paper repair and component making are enough; rare games may warrant specialist advice.
- Maintenance
- Leave a contents card and a small repair envelope for future wear.
- Accessibility
- Use large labels, tactile marks, high contrast, piece trays, and alternate rule formats when players want them.
- Sustainability
- Repair the existing set and replace only missing functional parts.
- Timing
- Finish by playing one complete round and correcting any confusing substitute pieces.
