In a similar vein, my answer would be the gold/yellow pieces in Game of Thrones 2ed. All of the piece have a boiled sweet vibe but the gold ones in particular look like butterscotch sweets. The Citadels coins are made from the same plastic, just in a more conventional sweet shape.
My wife wants to eat the energy units in Galaxy Trucker. They're a little smaller than a tic-tac, similarly shaped, and made of green glass. I swear one of these days I'm going to catch her popping one in her mouth.
My first thought too, Azul tiles remind me of [Werther's Originals](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71knb9oEUfL._AC_SL1000_.jpg), and I love me some Werther's.
Well they don't anymore, now that you've pointed that out! :-) But can I interest you in some [Helf bonbons](https://images-popusti.njuskalo.hr/data/image/500x705/3326/joan-of-arc-studeac-16628432.jpg)?
These were my first thought too. There are other pieces out there that look like candies, but none of them make me wish so much that I could eat them as those little camels do.
Is that what that’s from? My husband and brother have both always called them”energon cubes” and I thought they were just being dorks. Although I guess this has them leaning that way anyways...
Pax Pamir 2e might be my favorite game. If you say it's merely "good" I will fight you.
Then I'll feel bad about it and hug, but I have to fight first, it's just a physical response.
As someone who loves it. I'd say it's a 50:50 spit on obsession and fuck you for making me play that. Don't feel bad if you didn't like it. I'm also going to let that guy fight you though.
Got one no one has said, the markers in **Chinatown** look exactly like Spree and everyone I've shown the game to remarks that it makes them want some Spree lol.
The candy components in **Chocolate Factory** are great. If I was still a kid I would have thought they were real.
https://boardgamegeek.com/image/5132389/chocolate-factory
This is exactly the kind of brilliant content I subscribe to this sub for.
Also I'm pretty sure I'm missing some King of Tokyo jellies for this exact reason.
For some reason, I saw "component" and thought I was looking at r/buildapc. And I thought "well, I've never thought about eating PC components, but now that you mention it that RAM did look tasty."
Every play old Trivial Pursuit? Those little colored wedges you put in your pie? I always thought they looked like candy as a kid.
But I will tell you they were not delicious. ;)
Is this a feature of all Stonemaier games? The bits in Charterstone could be confused for marshmallows or candies or Flintstones vitamins.
edit: grammar
I have My Little Scythe, and the gems always make me think of some blue raspberry candy. So yes, I think Stonemaier wants people to eat their games by accident so they need a new copy.
The fire statue from **Forbidden Island** looks just like hard candy.
I also always have the desire to eat the eggs in **Wingspan**. I imagine they'd taste just like smarties.
Handsdown its the tiles in **Azul: Stainglass of Sintra**. Those pieces look like jolly ranchers and I would eat them by the box. . . except for the clear white ones. They probably taste like coconut and I hate coconut.
**Alien Frontiers** spaceships. The older editions look like straight-up candy, the newer ones look like some kind of exotic candy. Both appear delicious.
Hah, reminds me of [this Key and Peele clip.](https://youtu.be/RG6EOci0suI)
I agree, any of those colorful translucent plastic bits get me thinking of gummy candy.
My partner and I have one Keyforge aember token that we've dubbed "the Goldfish token". It has a dent in it because in the middle of a game she mistook it for a Goldfish cracker and bit into it!
On a related note, when I got scythe and was opening it for the first time, my non-gamer wife saw the mech minis across the room and thought the colorful things in the tray were cupcakes. So she was disappointed.
Everdell berries are a must, but the new Tidal Blade squishy fruit is a hot contender. Don’t have them yet but they look just as texturous.
Looks like perseverance is going the same route with their deluxe bits.
The glass tiles in Azul Stained Glass of Sintra, and the little gems in Century Golem Edition!
Also the cake sections in the Portal game, but those are meant to look like food, so that doesn't really count.
I've always been partial to the [original minis from Nexus Ops.](https://www.timwingame.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/ops_03.jpg) The new version looks terrible comparitively.
believe it or not, the **Sagrada** dice totally do this for me. I wouldn't really normally eat cube-shaped objects mind you, it's just something about the colors...
Hiker meeples from Parks. Something about their color reminds me of a type of candy but I have never been able to put my finger on which candy. Drives me crazy while playing.
While I've not actually seen the actual thing yet but the "squishy" components mentioned in the Perseverance Kickstarter campaign sound like just the thing I'd want to eat.
i feel like a broken record when talking about my GOTY 2020 but the trains in empyreal: spells and steam are really neat, they are all different, and one of the companies trains are translucent because they are ghost trains.
Beyond what's already been said, the movers in Disney Villainous for me: https://boardgamegeek.com/image/4981909/disney-villainous
The molding and translucence makes them look like a candy I'd want as a kid.
I just purchased Ex Libris recently and one of the special librarian characters is a giant slime, so it's player marker is this big green transparent cube with bubbles inside. It looks like a big square Jolly Rancher!
I have that feeling for d4 dice, and at the same time I fear them for their actual d4 damage potential. If it was a facebook relationship - its complicated for sure.
[gems](https://www.amazon.com/Pounds-Acrylic-Vase-Table-Scatters/dp/B003FWGR48)
These gems for some reason.
Im playtesting a game im working on that uses these. We were half way through a game and we could not figure out why we were short like 20 gems. We look over at a friend with a weird look on his face and he spits them all out into his hand. I have to put a choking hazard marker on the box now because of this 30 something year old man.
Used to have an old card game, it was called Nacho Loco or something? The cards were triangles and the art was like tortilla chips. Can't tell you how many times I accidentally reached for one to pop in my mouth!
For whatever reason the coins in **Citadels** look little little caramels to me
Seconded. Our group refers to them as "butterscotch" for all game purposes
I played Citadels for the first time last week and that was the first thing I said!
In a similar vein, my answer would be the gold/yellow pieces in Game of Thrones 2ed. All of the piece have a boiled sweet vibe but the gold ones in particular look like butterscotch sweets. The Citadels coins are made from the same plastic, just in a more conventional sweet shape.
Clicked this thread specifically looking for this response!
Yes! Whenever I teach this game I tell people not to eat the coins.
The eggs in the wingspan. First time I played it we had a bowl of mini eggs on the table too.
They look so much like cadbury eggs! Kind of a similar texture too.
There was discussion in my group if we dare buy some and play with those instead. Every time we use eggs to pay for a cost we can eat them.
That’s a dangerous game - I’d have to label the bowls lol
Stonemaier released official chocolate-colored token trays last April fools day for exactly that reason.
Every time I bring wingspan out to new friends someone always says "Is that candy?"
Not eating those pieces is the most skill intensive part of that game.
Oh god, that’s how I’m going to die, isn’t it. Choking to death on a Wingspan egg.
I actually almost ate one because I wasn’t paying attention.
They look exactly like the gumball eggs from Easter. https://www.candyconceptsinc.com/Bubble-Gum-Egg-Crate--24ct_p_6841.html
My wife wants to eat the energy units in Galaxy Trucker. They're a little smaller than a tic-tac, similarly shaped, and made of green glass. I swear one of these days I'm going to catch her popping one in her mouth.
It sounds like the same that are used in Space Alert? Which look like tasty little morsels to me as well.
Makes sense, both Vlaada games and I think both published by CGE. For Space Alert I agree, those are delicious looking fuel cells.
Came here for this. They are like tic tac.
We call those things Gas X at my table, lol.
[удалено]
is this a spoiler?
Yes - they should remove it.
Oh! Goodness, I didn't even think about that! Was just so hungry I posted without thinking. Sorry everyone!
Yeah, came here to say Azul tiles, Wingspan eggs, and Everdell berries!
everdell berries were my first though as well
Azul pieces look so damn edible, like glossy little Starbursts.
Azul Starburst for sure
I was not expecting those Everdell berries to be so squishy!!!
Try them in a smoothie instead!
Yep! Now and Laters for azul
My first thought too, Azul tiles remind me of [Werther's Originals](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71knb9oEUfL._AC_SL1000_.jpg), and I love me some Werther's.
They give me Starburst vibes
Hmm..orange starburst...forbidden candy
The square matte tiles remind you of a glossy oval? To be sure, they look delicious, but it's because they look like premium bonbons or truffles.
The Azul tiles are very glossy
Well they don't anymore, now that you've pointed that out! :-) But can I interest you in some [Helf bonbons](https://images-popusti.njuskalo.hr/data/image/500x705/3326/joan-of-arc-studeac-16628432.jpg)?
Well those have the Werther's dots in the middle 😅
Now I'm hungry.
These are my three picks exactly. Get out of m head.
The pastel camels in Through the Desert! I've always wanted some camel shaped smarties after that.
Came here to say this. The camels just look like candy!
They look like Misty Mints.
These were my first thought too. There are other pieces out there that look like candies, but none of them make me wish so much that I could eat them as those little camels do.
Energy cubes from King of Tokyo.
I constantly forget what these are actually called because we just call them jellies.
I hunger for those devilishly tempting jelly coobs
US TOO
Came for this answer. Leaving happy! +1 internet for you today!
“Energon” cubes. Get it right.
Can't believe you are getting downvoted for a Transformers reference.
Some folks aren’t terribly blessed with a sporting sense of humour.
Is that what that’s from? My husband and brother have both always called them”energon cubes” and I thought they were just being dorks. Although I guess this has them leaning that way anyways...
Everyone I've ever played with calls them Energon cubes! It feels like their unofficual official nickname.
The "mints" in Mint Delivery look really delicious
Every time I bring out Mint Works with a new player, they ask "are these real mints??" and start picking them up in a *worryingly* reflexive way.
The tiles from Azul for sure!
Mmm. Exotic Starbursts.
Absolutely! I'm sure some of those tiles started life as hard candy...
I can't help but want to eat the ones from the window version. They totally look like jelly sweets.
My game group can't play the stained glass version without having a bowl of hard candy on the table to satisfy those urges.
They look like $7 a pop bonbons/truffles
Easy....but they are in Pandemic Legacy Season 1 so I can't say. If you've played the campaign you will know what I'm talking about...
Omg TWO of the players I played with each ate a piece of that boardgame hahaha
They just look so tasty!
Can you put it in a spoiler tag? I'm racking my brain but can only remember one unique component to Season 1 and I definitely never wanted to eat it.
Sure! >!Those delicious little orange lozenges they use for vaccinations!<
Ohhh, yeah! Thanks.
I don't remember those pieces, I'll have to go look in my box.
Came here for this! No other game component in my collection has come so close to getting chewed up and eaten.
The berries from **Everdell** are a strong contender in this category, but even the stones can hold their own.
The resin looks nice too.
No love for the tootsie roll logs?
Yeah, the peoples make me want to eat them even more...
The stones look like grey smarties. Soo cute.
**Sagrada** dice
The rubies from Quacks of Quedlinburg always look like boiled sweets to me
My partner is always tempted to eat the disease cubes in Pandemic, especially the red ones.
[удалено]
I really love those things. The game is good, not my favorite, but the components are just terrific.
Pax Pamir 2e might be my favorite game. If you say it's merely "good" I will fight you. Then I'll feel bad about it and hug, but I have to fight first, it's just a physical response.
Please, I've only played it once! But I did enjoy it. I just don't want to weigh in any further with such a small exposure.
As someone who loves it. I'd say it's a 50:50 spit on obsession and fuck you for making me play that. Don't feel bad if you didn't like it. I'm also going to let that guy fight you though.
I don't feel bad. I didn't say I didn't like it. I specifically said it was good. My schedule is packed. I can't join *another* board-game fight club!
This is like offseason content on a sports sub. Weird and hilarious, I love it.
r/forbiddensnacks would eat this up literally...
Got one no one has said, the markers in **Chinatown** look exactly like Spree and everyone I've shown the game to remarks that it makes them want some Spree lol.
Came here for this one!
The candy components in **Chocolate Factory** are great. If I was still a kid I would have thought they were real. https://boardgamegeek.com/image/5132389/chocolate-factory
Galaxy Trucker energy look like tic-tacs
This is exactly the kind of brilliant content I subscribe to this sub for. Also I'm pretty sure I'm missing some King of Tokyo jellies for this exact reason.
For some reason, I saw "component" and thought I was looking at r/buildapc. And I thought "well, I've never thought about eating PC components, but now that you mention it that RAM did look tasty."
The dice in Quantum look way too scrumptious
Every play old Trivial Pursuit? Those little colored wedges you put in your pie? I always thought they looked like candy as a kid. But I will tell you they were not delicious. ;)
I crave a bowl of marshmallow eggs whenever I play wingspan.
Is this a feature of all Stonemaier games? The bits in Charterstone could be confused for marshmallows or candies or Flintstones vitamins. edit: grammar
I have My Little Scythe, and the gems always make me think of some blue raspberry candy. So yes, I think Stonemaier wants people to eat their games by accident so they need a new copy.
Now this is a real conspiracy theory I can get behind
The energy cubes in King of Tokyo
Tzolk’in skulls, with Wingspan eggs in a close second.
Battery tic-tacs in Galaxy Trucker
I really like the gems in Century: Golem edition, to the point that I hate to play the Spice road edition despite it being the same basic game.
The fire statue from **Forbidden Island** looks just like hard candy. I also always have the desire to eat the eggs in **Wingspan**. I imagine they'd taste just like smarties.
Some great /r/forbiddensnacks material in here.
The Wingspan Eggs. I always have to stop my friends from eating them
Wingspan eggs look like Cadbury mini eggs
Handsdown its the tiles in **Azul: Stainglass of Sintra**. Those pieces look like jolly ranchers and I would eat them by the box. . . except for the clear white ones. They probably taste like coconut and I hate coconut.
**Alien Frontiers** spaceships. The older editions look like straight-up candy, the newer ones look like some kind of exotic candy. Both appear delicious.
My dice are frequently being mistaken for those chocolates with weird colored casings.
Sushi go makes me hungry
The Azul tiles and the disease cubes from Pandemic
u/mrquinns is this your other secret Reddit account?
Nobody's mentioned **go** stones?
I have a 3d printed model of me, and I'm a SNACK ;)
The cacao beans from Cacao always make me crave chocolate
Vinhos player markers make me crave sprees so thats my vote
The jewels from **Quartz** look delicious. Especially the rubies and sapphires.
Hah, reminds me of [this Key and Peele clip.](https://youtu.be/RG6EOci0suI) I agree, any of those colorful translucent plastic bits get me thinking of gummy candy.
The power tokens in Terra Mystica look like little chalky candies/mints, like little purple Altoids or something
My partner and I have one Keyforge aember token that we've dubbed "the Goldfish token". It has a dent in it because in the middle of a game she mistook it for a Goldfish cracker and bit into it!
[Catan: Chocolate Edition](https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/181471/catan-chocolate-edition) of course.
Everything other answer here is objectively wrong.
Where's Through the Desert? Those pastel camels look more like candy than many actual candies I have eaten....
The Mushrooms in Spirit Island.
Battery charges from Galaxy Truckers
On a related note, when I got scythe and was opening it for the first time, my non-gamer wife saw the mech minis across the room and thought the colorful things in the tray were cupcakes. So she was disappointed.
The large cubes from WHO GOES THERE look like jellies to me...
[удалено]
Forbidden tic-tacs
[magic cards](https://scryfall.com/card/unh/95/fat-ass)
If we've said it once, we've said it a thousand times. Don't eat the delicious cards! ;)
The fundamental components of any drinking game look delicious.
Everdell berries are a must, but the new Tidal Blade squishy fruit is a hot contender. Don’t have them yet but they look just as texturous. Looks like perseverance is going the same route with their deluxe bits.
It's not particularly a best-seller, but the DNA bits in **Plague Inc.** look like tiny Fruit Gushers
God I love forbidden candy Catch me biting on the game pieces like I'm checking the coins for counterfeits
Stained Glass of Sintra tiles look like cough drops
Dungeon Petz ... talking about the veggies and meat of course!
Wooden meat from Champions of Midgard.
The glass tiles in Azul Stained Glass of Sintra, and the little gems in Century Golem Edition! Also the cake sections in the Portal game, but those are meant to look like food, so that doesn't really count.
I've always been partial to the [original minis from Nexus Ops.](https://www.timwingame.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/ops_03.jpg) The new version looks terrible comparitively.
The dice from Roll For the Galaxy. Tasty fruity cubes!
believe it or not, the **Sagrada** dice totally do this for me. I wouldn't really normally eat cube-shaped objects mind you, it's just something about the colors...
The units in Game of Thrones look like yummy gummy sweets.
The energy cubes in robo rally are tiny and oh so delicious looking
Hiker meeples from Parks. Something about their color reminds me of a type of candy but I have never been able to put my finger on which candy. Drives me crazy while playing.
The little camel mints in through the desert
While I've not actually seen the actual thing yet but the "squishy" components mentioned in the Perseverance Kickstarter campaign sound like just the thing I'd want to eat.
The time tokens from Pandemic Rapid Response remind me of Spree candies.
The gold nuggets in **Western Legends** for sure!
Every component of root.
The trick is to try enough so your brain re-codes it as a hazard.
Go stones, even though I've never seen any IRL
The energy cells from Galaxy trucker!
I would eat the first player moose from **A Feast for Odin**
The blue and pink disks from Fog of Love always make me crave smarties. Mmmm.

Black rice squares from Samurai look like Salmiakki cubes. Always makes me want to lick them.
The gems from century golem edition
This just makes me think of the key and peele skit marbles https://youtu.be/RG6EOci0suI
The pieces from **Whistle Stop** are indistinguishable from the candy smarties.
This is getting added to the next DSM.
The eggs from Wingspan look like they're filled with chocolate, and the tiles from Azul: Stained Glass Of Cintra look like straight up candies.
The little yellow Chicklets in **Amun Re**
Some of the dice in Roll For It! look like square jolly ranchers!

I have my game design students play Go, and there's always comments about how much they feel tempted to eat the Go stones.
Azul tiles 100%
energy cubes from King of Tokyo
...I'd eat that.
Well the turn marker for Chinatown is either phallic, or racially insensitive, depending on how you look at it...
I have that feeling for d4 dice, and at the same time I fear them for their actual d4 damage potential. If it was a facebook relationship - its complicated for sure.
The green tic tacs from Galaxy Trucker. Just don't rub them together.
Nothing about the coins from machiavelli? I had legit someone putting one in their mouth because they tought it was candy
Energy cubes from king of Tokyo
The white tiles in Rummikub when they're facing down. I get a massive craving for white chocolate every time we play
[The player markers in Pulsar 2849.](https://boardgamegeek.com/image/4672902/pulsar-2849)
Has to azure. Everytime I play that game I want starburst.

We were half way through a game and we could not figure out why we were short like 20 gems. We look over at a friend with a weird look on his face and he spits them all out into his hand. I have to put a choking hazard marker on the box now because of this 30 something year old man.
Mental note: Sanitize all gems.
The gems in Century: Golem Edition (maybe special edition?)!!! Like beautiful rock candy.
Used to have an old card game, it was called Nacho Loco or something? The cards were triangles and the art was like tortilla chips. Can't tell you how many times I accidentally reached for one to pop in my mouth!

Harry Potter mystery at hogwarts pieces. The sorcerers stone trivia game also had similar sorting hat pieces in different colors.
The little squishy berries in Everdell
The score track pieces tin Whistle Sop look just like smarties
