Author Topic: Square on Tunnels (Read 2253 times)

Hey guys!

After I made my trade with Caciej regarding the Tunnels, we found out that the copy I sent him had a weird square 'imprint' on the tiles. It varies per tile, but is definitely there.
I've checked my copy that I play with, and it has the same (see picture)
Has anyone else seen this? Is it a know thing of the Tunnels?
I've checked the other Spielbox expansions, but they don't seem to have this.

What do you mean on " a weird square 'imprint' "?

I've seen that square indentation on several of my expansions, including Bridges, Castles, and Bazaars. I believe it to just be an artefact of the manufacturing process for the tiles, perhaps having to do with the die cutter used to cut the tiles.

If you look at Willem's tile you can see a 'square' in the centre of his time.
It's an 'imperfection' from printing, the die-cutter must be pressing the centre of the tile leaving an indent, like NorseScotsman described. The Rio-Grande BCB tiles have this issue too. Is the cardboard of the same density, this may also be the cause?

The density seems fine. Probably just an issue with the setting on the die-cutter press. The square imprint isn't really that noticeable unless you are looking for it.
