Hi,
I am taking the plunge and buying a hard copy of the rules this weekend.
The tokens I have organised but I am just thinking of what to do for the blinds.
I've seen some nicely constructed ones. Is cardboard the best route or thin MDF or other?

So, cut to size from card stock and put through a lamniator?
I need to get a laminator I think, been putting it off for a while.

Re: Making Blinds
I use laminated cards for blinds too. There’s a load to choose from in the Files section of the TooFatLardies io group.

Re: Making Blinds
Bought a laminator last week at my local Lidl supermarket. Still trying to figure out if I can cut the final laminated product to shape, and also the best thickness of plastic to use. Hmm, and also where to best buy more of those plastic pockets.

Re: Making Blinds
I was looking at one on Amazon , and the different size sleeves. It had decent reviews.

Re: Making Blinds
For blinds, I reckon pieces of earth/turf coloured felt cut to the right size and shape would work OK.
Cheap, relatively inobtrusive, and can be draped over tabletop troopies with minimal risk of damage.
