We also have some RPG books (Basic Fantasy RPG is super cheap) and dice that have been used by guests.- Books:  We have a mix of books including some local area/regional stuff, some fiction, and kids books.- Kids Toys:  We advertise to families and have another 2xKallax cubes full of toys that won't break and are tolerant of missing pieces, but are easy enough to cleanup:  lincoln logs, blocks, hard animals, stuff like that.
