Milambus, aka Jake Fitch, has been a lifelong player of video games,card games, and board games.

“Stuck on Stickers: ”
I went to that site, but I can’t find a posting button underneath the posting box to ask a question. In Firefox or IE.
There are “Create Post” and “Preview Post” buttons for me in Chrome.
I’d have to point out to the stickers thing that pipe cleaners work much better: Each player has a different colour, bend into a V and drop on the mini. Red is bloodied, Green is my Curses, but is the fighters mark and so on.
