Us Bibelot Gamers are very "believing" people.

We believe that quality is not a required sacrifice for expedeincy.
We believe that luxury can be affordable.
We believe that games should not have a built-in lifespan.
We believe that games are social and should travel easily to social places.
We believe that cardboard is not a prerequisit for a board game.

And so we present to you The Midnight Collection: portable and durable games made entirely from high-end materials at startelingly low prices. Lets take a closer look...

Each game is presented in a black, suede leather pouch that unfolds to reveal a beautifully etched game board and natural marble playing pieces. Some of the games feature "lots" or "bones", which are two-sided dice made of solid walnut. The rule booklets are made of an extremely durable composite paper attached to the satin draw-string cord.

While we can't claim that these games are completely indestructable (we're still having trouble making them Volcano-proof), The Midnight Collection games are significantly more durable than your average cardboard game. These games can travel with you in your purse, backpack, or pocket to anywhere you can imagine (except into lava - we're working on that).

Each component is tear (both rip and crying), water, and stain resistant.

The suede leather pouches are exceptionally soft and supply and the etching process actually removes material, meaning the boards will not rub or wear off. Some of the leather might still 'seep' dye when wet, although this should not be a limiting factor. We simply suggest that you avoid using your great-grandmother's heirloom wedding dress to dry your game after taking it white-water rafting.

The solid walnut lots are sanded and polished smooth (completely free of splinters) and sealed to protect them from the harshest environments (except those darn lava flows - again, we have some ideas in R&D, but it'll take some time). They are wonderful to hold and make a delightfully solid clacking sound when rolled.

And the marble pieces are as solid as... stone. (well, yea). Each piece is completely unique in color and veining, highlighting the quary of it's birth. The Red, Black, Green, and White colors are naturally occuring shades of marble and not dyed or tinted by us. The etched symbols however are tinted with a special stone medium to make them stand out.

We use a silky composite paper to create the rule booklets for the Midnight Collection. They are extremely difficult to rip or stain and will hold up to usual and unusual wear and tear (except Volcanos - still no game-love for the volcanologist.)!
