A Token Gesture (is a whack with a hammer!)
Tokens for the game are provided by way of a Token Sheet download from NeuroCraft Studios website. I’m not a veteran of creating my own tokens so I pondered about how best to do it. In the end I decided to get the token sheet printed onto a heavy 400gsm paper via Doxdirect, and I bought a hole punch tool from Etsy which matched the size of the printed tokens (in this case 13mm).
It took a bit of trial and error. To start with, despite repeated whacking, the tokens wouldn’t cut cleanly.
Then my wife, seeing my frustration, decided to put me to shame by cutting a few out with her trusty scissors.
I didn’t want to be defeated however, and I had no desire to write to Jeremy Clarkson and inform him that I had found the one problem in the world that couldn’t be solved by hitting it with a hammer.
Inspired by the Clarkson method, I had an idea. I need a bigger hammer!
Bosh. Two whacks of the big hammer, with a 90 degree turn of the punch between whacks, and it was cutting nice and cleanly!
Job done! Some of them are still the messy first attempts but I’ll replace those with nicer ones in due course!I have a couple more sheets printed, so if I can be bothered I might punch another set and glue them back to back to make them double sided. I can then also replace the dodgy cut ones with nicer ones. Not a priority for now though, there are games to play!
