As someone that got Eldritch Horror before any Arkham Horror board game, I found that the gate capsules for EH works for the anomalies for AH3rd as those tokens are roughly the same size (45mm). The recommended 40 for a complete EH will give you enough extras for AH3rd (9+6+6+3+3 for the base game and release order of the big box expansions, or 27 total needed for EH, giving you 13 spares.). I wouldn't be surprised if cardboard disc size standardization is why they went for the 3 sizes they did (EH uses a bunch of the 19mm tokens as well, though there's a 20mm 'size up' for the slightly larger Eldritch, Focus, and Resource tokens). Though, I can understand if someone thinks that getting acrylic horror/damage/money tokens would be far better than the capsules
Another insightful post. Thanks mate! There is definitely a cut off point where capsules should give way to acrylics. We should make a video about that! :)
Dzień dobry Tomasz. We definitely aren’t polish but we LOVE our polish viewers and wanted to put something in for them as we only usually use American snacks. We called them Millionaire Cheetos because of the exciting packaging and we got free stickers inside! If you want to supply a translation then that would be great. Dziękuję for taking the time to comment. We really appreciate it!
This is nice and all but so much protection gets in the middle for me personally. Just enjoy your game. Worst case scenario just buy the game again. It will be cheaper than buying all these protections. Having said that, i love videos like these
I love pimping boardgames with all manner of stuff, especially a game so full of atmosphere as this one! But even so, if its not going to be played enough (which time will tell) I wont bother. Too much money and work for something to sit on the shelf unused. That said, I did get coin capsules for the mythos tokens (gives them some heft!) and sleeved all the cards. Considering the amount of shuffling going on in this game, the sleeves both protects and makes it much easier.
@@-Markus- but then everything becones glary and slippery. It is like u have this amazing game after waiting for so long and u are not allowed to touch it. Used to sleeve everything in elder sign until i got fed up. I enjoy the game much more now and if a card or two gets bent or something so what.
@@emile5921 Well I dont sleeve my cards mainly for protection, though I dont mind it, but I sleeve them for the feel and ease of shuffling. It IS a problem that they tend to become slippery and prone to "tipping over" if stacked but I use card trays for bigger stacks of cards so thats okay. Once I had became used to sleeved cards I couldnt go back to non-sleeved :)
I agree with you for the most part but using the capsules for the mythos bag is great. More so than protection it makes the tokens mix up better and makes them easier to pull out from the bag. Strongly recommend.
these cheeto scenes really put the horror in arkham horror..
We aim to please :)
Did you see the ones where he puts cards in water?! Those ones really put me on edge!
NoooOOOOOoOOooo! No No No!
Thanks, I just ordered 60€ of coin capsules because of you ! :-)
Errr, you are welcome? :)
Same here! I regret nothing :D

Good lord! Should have read some of the comments first. I wasn't ready for that!
Oh god this should come with a warning! The horror! I had to look away... the tokens... you... they... it's too much to bear!
Make sure you get your friends to watch it but don't tell them about the scary part :)
Guide on making friends understand you are a maniac.
Making them question whether you have special size capsules for them
Good lord man. We need ample warning before witnessing so much token genocide. 😂
Ok. BE ADVISED! The next video containing "Sleeves" or "Coin Capsules" in the title may cause sanity loss. :D
18mm size for horror marker 1 is wrong - u have to force them into if u use 18mm and by doing that u damage them. Thanks for ur advice :(
a complete list would have been helpful - game + expansions :/
Single money token is 24mm - core box 05/2022
Two questions..
1. Do they have sizes for arkham horror lcg?
2.can these be purchased in the USA?
Thanks Golden Griffon. Much appreciated.
Many thanks!
You are very welcome.
Got the eeriest sense of deja vu. Maybe I'm a mystic!?
What? This was totally different to all our other coin capsule videos and didn't recycle hardly any footage *cough cough* :)
And the dimension for the gates of arkham horror 2nd edition ?
Sorry friend we only play current in print games :(
My God! Who would coat that token in Cheetos batter! Whooo!!!??????
We do it so you don't have to. It's the sacrifices we make that keep your games safe :)

Do as you wish et let'em do as they wish. Live and let live, never heard before?
A ten minute video for what could be stated in three lines of text? Come on, seriously?
We don't do serious around here. :)
@@ArkhamChronicle Fair point. Well made. It would be nice if you summarized the sizes and quantities in the description though. :)
What a great idea. Description updated. Thank you.
And it was more fun to see and hear it than to read three lines of text.
