Quacks of Quedlinburg
A fun game, but apparently the tokens wear out over time as they are jumbled about in a cloth back and then blindly grabbed.
So I set out to make a more durable set. Coin capsules are the "card sleeves" of cardboard tokens. Putting the tokens in themselves into coin capsules is the easiest way. In the case of Quacks the tokens are laid out close to each other in set spaces. Making the tokens larger can create a bit of a space issue.
What I tried was getting coin capsules with the same outer diameter as the Quacks tokens, and filling them with modified printouts.
First off, coin tokens. If one is willing to wait a few weeks, a couple hundred 19mm tokens is very affordable.

A few weeks later they arrived. A bit of setup, some laser cutting, some punched cardboard and they were ready. In the pic below, towards the top of the pot is one capsule open to show the contents.
And they fit well on the board.

And then there was the Witches expansion, another round of lasers and such. The loco weed tokens. It's a bit cold for spraying the coins. They'll come later.
If anyone is interested in the files for printing and cutting, they are below. The PDFs have layers that can be turned on and off to have just the art for printing or the cut lines for a laser.
