Has anyone had any experience w/ using one of these to cut out thick stock cardboard tiles (ie, Carcassone)? They're often found in schools and craft stores, and have a huge die selection. I asked a company rep if they would cut thick stock, and he said they would cut anything that you can cut w/ scissors. I'm really not sure if I want to risk breaking the one at my kid's school or investing the $$$ in buying my own.
Here's an example of one if you're curious.
