Some personal examples:

Dice forge has its way of handling dices that felt incredibly smart the first time I played it

Same for Codex Naturalis, I was impressed by the simple way they printed the cards to allow for modularity, obviously the game is a lot simpler than I thought but it gave me some interesting ideas with how to overlap cards

Or the boards in Fort that have this double layer so that you can nest your pizzas and toys in there, so cozy!

I love the little stackable camels in Camel Up! Not too mention the dice dispensing pyramid!

That is such a cute game. I played it once and found the camel-stacking to be as hilarious as it amusingly strategic.

I am really like the panda miniature from Takenoko.

I also really like the character cards from Tokaido with the cutout that allows you to place the color of your marker.

The guns in Cash & Guns are extremely satisfying.

There’s much more power in that foam than one might expect!

Only if you bought one of the earlier releases. The later ones encountered enshittification and feel like cheap plastic.

There’s this game where you play as Egyptian gods, the minis used for each god are just epic and super detailed.

By far my favourite board game pieces.
