A tile on a timer. Load it up with 6 balls, which dwindle over the turns, and eventually self-destructs. Place different ball types inside for unique mechanics and aesthetics! You can even add to the timer count if a ball manages to jump into it.
Rules Setup: Must contain 6 balls. Ongoing: On rolls and spawns, use a ball from inside this. When empty, Destroy this. Forbidden: Balls inside don't count towards 3-Ball rule.
Alternate Ball Types It's intended for use with non-standard balls but works with the good old normal ones too. If you're going to use alternate balls, I only recommend brass. They're about the same weight as standard, but bypass magnet traps. Instead of using different materials, you could use the opposite of your standardized 10mm or 3/8", which works well with the Sorting Tile. Anyways, here's the balls shown in the pictures (all 10mmø, USD$):
