Compass needs to have someone talk to their artist about counter design.  I generally find their counter and maps to be lacking in the artistic appeal department.

Just stating a fact.  You want $80+ for a game at attempt to make it appealing.

They have some very nice looking games, imo. Bitter Woods is gorgeous.

I like most of the counters Compass does. They may not be fancy, but they are clean, readable, look good and are not overloaded with info (an increasing failing of games these days).  Same thing for the maps.

A number of their counters are gaudy, but I will grant you not all are bad.

Any particular games? Gawdy is not a word I would typically use for their counters, but I haven't played as many Compass games as I have GMT.

Maybe gaudy is an overstatement but ugly? Yes.  One game has bright red background with a bright red Soviet flag just hard on the eyes to look at and read.  Otherwise I just thing compared to GMT Compass counter are not as clean and nice to look at.

To each his own, I suppose. I like the counters for BoP (once properly trimmed).
