The Box Said 30 Minutes Mug

Thirty minutes, it said, right there on the box. Four hours later the sand has run out and the whole table has gathered cobwebs. This retro coffee mug is a small memento mori for every game that ran long: a grinning skull resting on a teal game box, a winged hourglass behind it with all of its sand in the bottom bulb, a round orange pawn and a six-sided die tangled in cobwebs, and a tiny spider hanging from one wing. A burnt orange banner across the front reads The Box Said 30 Minutes.

Pour the first cup during the rules explanation and the refill somewhere around the final scoring. The art is printed on both sides, so it faces out whichever hand you hold it in.
