I'm trying to find out how thick an individual tile is so that I can get the right size of chipboard to make my own tiles. My game is currently out of my house and I can't get to it for another week - long story. So if someone could give me that info I would greatly appreciate it.

It's 3/32 of an inch. Do you want it in metric?

koolkat - 3/32 of an inch converts to 2.38 millimeters. But Novelty may be able to give you a more precise number.

I don't think I can measure up to 0.01 of a milimetre... so it'll be around 2.5mm. I am just using a ruler on the side of a stack. I don't have any calipers I can use.

Thanks. Unfortunately, it's getting difficult to get a card that thick. I can only get a 3mm one. I think I'll go for the "Buy another Carc and replace tiles" solution...

You can order blank tiles from HiG koolkat. You're in Europe after all and it's in Euros. It should be relatively cheaper for you than say most of us outside Europe.

You bet I will. Now I remember I already emailed Hig on that subject and I got no response. I'll give it another try... I'm not the easy quitter style...

Let us know what happens with the order! I'd like to know! Perhaps you can also check ebay to see if there's any blank tiles from Germany.

Finally I got an answer. I can buy a set of 12 blank tiles for 1€. It seems that, after all, I'm gonna make those fan-made expansions. Hip! hip! hip!...
I'll post some pics here as soon as they're ready. But it'll take long. But I won't forget.
