How to choose games
Toys & Games materials
Pick Toys & Games in wood or tin for durability, or choose cardboard for a lighter item.
Battle Top build
Select a Battle Top in plastic for easier handling, or metal for a sturdier feel.
Play format
Choose Portable Electronic Games for single-player travel, but prefer Toys & Games for group nights.
Colour choice
Use the colour range, from blue to multicolor, to match a recipient's taste across sub-types.

If you already own a top, Battle Top Accessories add value, while newcomers need a full Battle Tops set.
What's good
