FAQ

Does the dry erase marker come off on other surfaces or if I shuffle?

Yes. That's the point of dry erase marker, it will come off with touch (whether from a finger, cloth or another card). If you touch the marker, it will rub off. If you place drawings face down onto a stainable surface like a playmat or stack things on top of it, it may stain. Generally, we hope people use common sense. But we know not everyone does.

Can these be used as proxies or to prototype card games? Can they be sleeved?

Yes they can! Make sure to use wet erase marker or Sharpie, and the image will not rub off like the dry erase. Sleeve it once it’s dry, because it can smudge if rubbed hard enough. The cards are the same height and width as Magic cards (albeit a little thicker. If you normally double-sleeve, single-sleeve the InfiniToken.)

When you decide you'd like to change the card, scribble over the wet erase or Sharpie with a dry erase marker, and firmly wipe with a cloth to remove it. (You can use rubbing alcohol but do so sparingly. Just make sure not to get the card damp if you use the alcohol, try to avoid the edges when possible. Rub outward at the edges, not inward.)

What if I can't draw? 

Your skill level doesn't matter, just have fun! "Bad" token can be just as fun as "good" ones (the worse the token drawing, the funnier it gets). chances are that no one is judging your artistic skill when you’re playing a game. If you don’t really want to draw, just write the words. Works just fine. Some people even use a completely blank token simply to have something tappable.

If you have multiple copies of a token or multiple copies of a Magic card, simply stack blank InfiniTokens behind them. That way you can tap some while leaving others untapped.

How do I use the deck box labels?

For a semi-permanent label, use Sharpie and it won’t come off. Once you want to change the label, draw over it with a dry erase marker (we use Expo chisel tip markers) and press firmly to wipe it off. The sticker will be blank once more, and you can write a new deck name! (With Sharpie writing, if you press hard enough it might smudge a tiny bit, so we recommend not touching it too much).

Do these work for webcam play?

Absolutely! They work even better than normal tokens for webcams because webcam quality varies greatly and the cards are not always easy to see clearly. The tokens are bright, bold and the writing/drawing is very easy to see. Numbers on the counters are much easier to read from a distance than dice (D20s are particularly hard to read on camera).

Are these just cheap blank ones with branding?

We understand that it can appear that way, but that is definitely not true. We have done a lot of research and development to get the right cards and surface, we do not use anyone else’s cards. We have many years of reviews and feedback proving our quality. “You get what you pay for” applies, because our cards are thicker, more durable, erase better and are overall much higher quality. If you take good care of them and follow our recommendations, they can last for many years. We have customers who still use their InfiniTokens that have the original design, which are from before 2019. Our prices are not as low as others because we invest more in quality.

What if they get dirty?

Not a problem! The easiest thing to do is to use a dry erase marker over the stain, and then wipe it off. The little bit of alcohol in the marker takes off the stain.

You can also use plain old Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and a cloth to remove it. Try to use it sparingly, and avoid the edges when possible. Rub outward at the edges, not inward. Cheap markers can sometimes stain, but the rubbing alcohol will do the trick. Try your best not to leave the dry erase on the cards for too long too many times- eventually the alcohol can start rubbing off the dry erase surface if overused.

How do I keep it from staining?

Make sure to erase the drawing within a few hours of use or after you are done playing for the day. Erase your tokens before putting them into a deck box, or placing anything on top of them. The nature of any dry erase surface is that it can have marks left. Sometimes cheap markers can stain worse. It is an easy fix; we mention above that writing over it with a thick dry erase marker will take it right off.

What markers should I use?

We sell sets of dry erase markers, but any dry erase marker will work. Other than ours, we have liked Expo, Two Hands and UBrands. UBrands makes mini deck box sized markers. Expo brand works too. For wet erase markers we usually use Vis-a-Vis. If you want to create a permanent card or proxy, use a permanent marker like a Sharpie or an artists pen (but sleeve after it dries).

“Poppins” brand has some fine point dry erase markers we like.

Expo ”Ultra Fine” fine markers have a thin line and work great for the counters (though they lean a little light), but they have a hard tip so make sure not to press hard on the cards so they do not leave scratches.

What if I want to keep it?

You can! Simply leave the drawing on the token for a few weeks/a month and it will become semi-permanent as long as you don’t use rubbing alcohol or draw over it. Sleeve it, and you have a FiniToken! (Get it?)

Where can I find the InfiniTokens playmat?

The playmat from the MTG Summit 2022 is still available at Mythic Gaming while supplies last. Use this link for the regular playmat and this link for foil. Our next playmat will be different drawings.

Can't I just use (dice, piece of paper, library card) for tokens?

You are welcome to use any device you like! Whatever makes you happy. We don't mind. If you later decide you want a durable, reusable, tappable, portable token that can also be used as a life pad or proxies, give us a look! They are sure to impress your friends and make your opponents jealous. But by all means, use your grocery store card or a plastic dart (both true stories).

Keep in mind that using dice and unclear representations of tokens (upside-down Magic cards, a different token “the 1/1 assassin will be represented with this 1/1 human, but remember it has deathtouch”) can be unfair to your opponent(s). There is a lot to keep track of in Magic, we prefer not to burden other players with more information to remember.

Will these damage my cards?

We have been making them for years and have had no complaints, which we take as a good sign! Many Magic streamers who have very expensive collections use them regularly, and none have had a problem with marker staining cards.

If I use permanent marker, will it come off? 

Not easily, but it’s possible. If you wish for something to be permanent, if you want to have your favorite artist making a drawing you’d like to keep, permanent marker would be perfect. We highly recommend sleeving it afterwards, because the marker does have the possibility to smudge a little if it gets wet. If you accidentally draw with Sharpie on an InfiniToken (it’s happened!), draw over it with a dry erase marker and it will take off the Sharpie.

Will a judge allow these?

So far in our research, the consensus is that judges not only would allow it, but they would appreciate being able to see what a token is, and if it is tapped. After all, how do you tap a die? Support the sanity of your local judges!

What is your shipping policy?

DOMESTIC

Due to their durable nature they are not flexible in stacks and have good weight to them, so at minimum they must be shipped parcel package. But the good news is, once you get past that, the shipping prices increase much more slowly. The more you order, the cheaper it gets per item. At $50 you get free shipping in the U.S.!

INTERNATIONAL

We use an international distributor who can ship most everything for a discounted price except for the counters, tags and deck box labels. The counters are hand-assembled on-demand so they need to be shipped from our location the U.S., which is more expensive. We hope to be able to offer a cheaper shipping option for the counters and tags in the future.
