Cheapass Games operates on the philosophy that most game owners have plenty of dice, counters, play money, and other common board game accessories, so there is no need to bundle all of these components with every game that requires them. Cheapass games thus come packaged in white envelopes, small boxes, or plastic resealable bags containing only those components unique to the game - typically a rules sheet, a playing board printed on card stock, and game cards banded by magazine-cutout "sleeves". This allows the company to produce games for prices well below the market average.

Cheapass are just great. Their whole ethos is wonderful. My friends used to go on at length about playing Kill Dr Lucky (before I got into modern boardgaming.)
I'm happy to own a very decent copy of their game Tak: such a good game.
