Bandua Wargames Craft Alternative Tokens For KeyForge
December 11, 2018 by brennon
Bandua Wargames has been working away on a range of KeyForge tokens for you to use when accessorising the unique card game from Fantasy Flight.
There are two variants from you to pick from with Gold and Silver available.
I like what they’ve done for the Keys and Aember in the game but I’m not won over by the wound and assorted other tokens that they’ve got as part of these sets.
I think if I was going to be picking these up I’d just get some of the Keys and Aember and then either source the other components from other suppliers or begin raiding some from those board games I don’t play too often (as I have been!).
One of the strengths of KeyForge does lie in the fact that you can just cobble together bits and pieces for it and play the game at a nice low-cost entry price with folks.
What do you think of their designs?

The number tokens would be great for wound marker’s.
I get it that nice tokens (especially in a mix of colors and art styles) aren’t cheap, but I feel like a lot of the “KeyForge compatible token sets” I’m seeing from various sites, not just Bandua, don’t really mesh with how the game works. The power tokens, for example, need ranges from +1 to +3 or you need a LOT more +1 power tokens (for some decks)… the lack of armor removed or armored bonus tokens is also weird. I guess part of the problem is the variety in decks… you may find 18 amber too little, or way… Read more »
Agree, not very attractive offering. I’ve been scavenging for my tokens too.
I’ve been using Star Wars Destiny tokens for damage (damage tokens) and for forged keys (resource tokens, they look like an object with multiple amber bits).
Then turned to spare v1 Deadzone tokens for Amber (command points) and stun/power tokens (double sided enraged/suppressed tokens).
A laminated colour print of the chain table and a marker completes my token set, and I have enough for two players so everything is represented the same and I can introduce new people to the game.
If you live in the UK you should keep your eye out in the poundshops I have seen small Jems in various colours for kid’s picture making fun that work well for wound’s or magic marker’s.
Thanks Zorg, will do. I am in Nottingham, UK
