Counter Quality

[vince hughes]

Daniel,

Like you I can apreciate that people all have different tastes and that is something we all have to get along with. My prefrence for ANY game is that once it commits to its chosen format, it stays with that format. Imagine C&C Naps suddenly using a different arts graphic on its supplements so that they did not match the main game.

In some games I have thinner counters than I would prefer, and others, thicker. However, what I can say for both the games that come to mind is that the printing of the counter, thick or thin, matt or gloss, cardboard or even a sticker for a wooden block should at least be legible, not blurred and quite frankly, standardised from box to box of the same game. I think for the majority of people with reasonable sight whether aided or unaided, picture definition across the board should be a given on any width of counter or sticker.

For those less critical, just bear in mind that if nobody makes a noise about this, the quiet buyers may slowly disappear without giving feedback why. Nobody is going to invest 80 bucks in games that require 3D glasses to read the counters. And for those regulars here, do remember how much I have adored this game, furthered its play when I can etc. Its not like I am some anti-APL sad CSW moaner .... I WANT MB to do well !
