I often use event cards, or chance cards, in games using One-Hour Wargames rules. For the most part the cards are made from plain card. Anyway, I was asked about what I would like as a Christmas present. I normally struggle with this question, and not wanting socks again this year, I came up with the idea of a laminator and told by wife and explained why, to cover my cards. My wife then said “I think I have one I haven’t used in years”, then disappeared off to rummage around in some cupboards and returned with a pocket laminator most suitable for cards. It had been used in the past for making name cards at conferences. A few test cards were quickly produced and it proved to be most suitable. Well I guess its socks for Christmas.
