Morning guys,
An unusual question I suppose, but whose tokens / counters do you use when you play?
The reason I ask is because the club had a meeting on Sunday, and I sat down to play one of my buddies - and it was my board we had out. Now I should have mentioned that we're just starting off getting into Mage Wars (loving it!) so some of us have a lot of kit, while others are still waiting to get their main box set. But both Joe and I have lots. So it was my board that was on the table, and I mentioned that we'd be best using "just my counters". Joe was fine with that, but mentioned that he'd be using his "Eternel Servant" counter. No worries thought I.
Came to the end of the day and we packed away. Fine. So I had a different friend round at mine yesterday and had decided to use my Necromancer spellbook - and it was my first outing with him - and guess what - could I find my "Eternal Servant" counter. So a quick phone call later and yup, Joe had accidentally picked mine up when sorting his cards out at the end of our game. Now this isn't a worry - I'll be seeing Joe on Thursday night, so I'll get it back then. But if I hadn't decided to play the Necromancer yesterday (and maybe not for a few weeks?) or worse, had been at an event whee I'd had a game with a stranger. The counter would have been gone.
So what do you guys do? I think that there might always be the potential problem of this happening. I've already sleeved my cards so that they're more easily identifiable as mine (as well as the extra protection factor). Interested to hear your thoughts.
Cheers for now.
