I wanted to print some tokens for a boardgame which need different colors. I don't need that much colored filament. I came across that set while searching for cheap filament. Is that a good deal or would it be better to just buy full spools, even if I dont know what to use it for?

Samples.

Order each color as 10-20g sample.

Sometimes even free.

Check your print OP, see how many meters you need and samples may cover it.

Or print first layers in eg black or clear and then just the tops with a filament change for your desired colors (if that works)
