Upgrade your board game tokens and improve the look, feel and durability. I think this will be especially useful for those who want to upgrade games like Quacks of Quedlinburg, Arkham Horror the card game or other games where you draw tokens out of a bag. This can be a stand-alone upgrade but for me this is just the first steps to take your tokens to the next level as you will see in part 2. I will show you step by step how to colour the edges of your tokens and then how to spray them more durable and waterproof.
Here are some useful links where I found inspiration. Perfect if you want to learn more and read the experiences from others in the community who have tried the same thing.
