[QUOTE="shadzar, post: 5430668, member: 6667746"] Not really sure how the laminate could prevent them form getting bent/spindled/mutilated, but it might help a little. That is likely your players are just being gentle with them. You could try getting manget strips to stick your tokens too, and some metal sheeting to place under your maps/tiles so the tokens try to stay in play, and store them in a container lined with some metal enough that the magnetic tokens will stick to each other and them so they dont "blow" away of fall out and go everywhere when knocked over. Then you could stick them on your refrigerator, computer case, etc if you wanted as well. Maybe more expensive, but to help without the metal you could get polystyrene plastic sheets used in modelling and make your own "chips" to match the sizes of DDM bases, or whatever game you were playing, so that you had the proper scale. You could even use wooden disks from crafts etc....
