If you've spent any time around The Quacks of Quedlinburg, you already know the feeling: that satisfying moment when you draw from your bag, the tension of pushing your luck one chip too far, and the inevitable chaos that follows. It's one of the best family-weight games ever made.
But here's the thing — the cardboard components that come in the box? They're holding you back.
After years of playing and upgrading board games, we've put together the definitive guide to the best Quacks of Quedlinburg upgrades available. Whether you're playing with your family, at game night, or deep into competitive play, these accessories will transform your table experience.
Why Upgrade Quacks of Quedlinburg?
The base game comes with cardboard tokens, ingredient books, and a box that becomes a mess the moment you open it for the second time. The tokens wear down, they're hard to distinguish by touch, and keeping them organized between sessions is a nightmare — especially if you own expansions.
Premium 3D printed upgrades solve all of this. Better tactile feel, faster setup, easier storage, and a table presence that makes the game feel as premium as it plays.
1. Ingredient Book Holders — The Upgrade Everyone Notices First

The ingredient books in Quacks are referenced constantly throughout the game. In the base game, they sit flat on the table, get bumped, and players are constantly leaning over to read them. These 3D printed holders prop the books up at the perfect angle — visible to everyone at the table, stable, and out of the way.
Available in a set of 7 or 8, they're compatible with all editions of Quacks of Quedlinburg. This is one of those upgrades that seems minor until you use it, and then you can never go back.
Who needs it: Anyone who plays with 4+ players, or anyone whose ingredient books keep sliding around the table.
2. Premium Tokens — The Heart of the Upgrade
This is the upgrade that changes the feel of the entire game. The cardboard tokens that come in the box are fine — but 3D printed tokens are on another level. They're heavier, satisfying to handle, and much easier to distinguish by touch alone (which matters when you're drawing blind from a bag).
The set of 16 pieces covers your essential ingredients, giving your bag a premium feel that matches the quality of the game design itself.
Who needs it: Everyone. This is the first upgrade to buy for Quacks.
3. Protective Token Cases — Never Lose a Piece Again
If you've ever knocked a Quacks bag over mid-game, you know the pain of hunting for tokens under the table. These removable protective cases keep each player's tokens organized and contained — during the game and between sessions.
Each case is designed to fit the tokens perfectly, snap in and out easily, and stack cleanly in your box. Starting from $25 CAD, this is one of the best value-to-impact upgrades in the lineup.
Who needs it: Families with kids, anyone who travels with their games, or anyone who's lost a token and had to improvise.
5. The Full Storage Organizer — The Ultimate Quacks Box Solution
This is the crown jewel of the Quacks upgrade lineup. The full storage organizer features 8 token containers and is designed to work with the base game plus up to 2 expansions — all fitting back into your original Quacks box.
If you own The Alchemists or The Herb Witches expansions, this organizer is a game-changer. Setup goes from 10 minutes of sorting to under 2 minutes. Everything has a place, nothing gets mixed up, and the box closes cleanly every time.
Starting from $35 CAD, this is the upgrade for serious Quacks players.
Who needs it: Anyone who owns expansions, or anyone who wants the definitive Quacks storage solution.
