Plus a person with a commercial design degree who knows how to draw pretty pictures and who has hands on experience in how those pretty pictures get turned into a product has an edge in the job market over someone who only has a commercial design degree and can draw pretty pictures. ubarose Tue, 01 May 2012 04:20:18 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3249#josc79266 How so? The OP just mentions thicker counters, which is a step up in quality, sure, but not really opening up a world of innovation. Unless of course this means they can have odd shapes or something, which might help. I would think knowing how to mount a board, design a box, and construct a useful insert would also be useful skills. But anyway, any improvement in their games is a welcome one. I foresee a need for LOTS of solitaire games in my near future. jason10mm Tue, 01 May 2012 01:42:36 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3249#josc79262 [quote=jason10mm]I wonder why they are doing this now. Is the GMT partnership not working out? Seems to me that a box and a mounted board are what they need to jump to the next level. Their counters have always been pretty acceptable for me.[/quote] VPG is a "college classroom extension laboratory." A laser cutting machine provides greater learning opportunities than boxes. ubarose Mon, 30 Apr 2012 23:44:27 +0100 http://fortressat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3249#josc79260 I wonder why they are doing this now.

I'm guessing that wasn't your intention. S.

I'm sure I had nothing to do with it, but I'm taking credit anyhow. SuperflyTNT Sun, 29 Apr 2012 17:29:58 +0100
