Clay tokens are like little pieces of play money you can make yourself.
Imagine you're playing a game with your friends and you don’t have real coins or paper money to trade with. So, you all take some clay, the kind you use for art class, and roll it into small balls or shapes. These are your clay tokens, and they stand in for real money in your game.
You can even write numbers or draw pictures on them to show how much each one is worth. It's like giving your clay a special job: “This one is worth 5 points!” or “That one helps you move faster around the board!”
How They Work
When you trade with your friends, you can give them a clay token instead of real money. If someone has more tokens, they might be able to do cool things in the game, like buying extra turns or special powers.
It's just like using play money at home: it’s not real money, but it helps make your game fun and fair. And the best part? You can reshape your clay tokens anytime you want!
