Really fantastic work, as soon as I saw the video I ran out to grab an old chessboard from a 2nd hand store, whipped out some old minis, printed some new ones, and now I'm decorating the terrain with my son.

We noticed that the chessboard has a back side that is 10x10, so we want to try and play on the larger field too. We are also building some scenery like elevated stairs, trees and rocks (like yours) to add more diversity/constraints. We will come up with our fun set of rules for these additions.

Thank you so much for putting in the time and effort,I can see my son and I bonding a lot over this game :)

I do have one suggestion though. Would it be possible to get the printable cards in PDF format? with the jpeg I can't seem to find the right size so the prints match the size of classic magic/pokemon cards (for sleeving)

Thank you, I’m very happy to hear that! :)

That is weird, it prints at standard playing card size at 100% size for me. Did you use the correct version for your paper? (A4 or letter)

Yes, though perhaps there are other settings like "shrink to fit" or "fill page" or "borderless print" that interfere with the process. However there is also another factor, which is that the cards are not aligned, so they pretty much need to be cut one by one as opposed to cutting them all at once precisely with an exactonknife & ruler.

My suggestion (what I did) is: go to https://mtgprint.net/ and create a pdf with 9 random cards, with some 0.2mm margin between the cards and without "cut guides". Then you can open the PDF in inkscape, where you can align your card images to the background MTG cards for perfect size and alignment. Then you can remove the eccess MTG cards and the card-trader logo, add your logo if you so desire and export as PDF. If you keep an SVG project with the background cards still in place it will give you the blueprint for future "extended" card sets which will remain perfectly aligned and will print to exact size.

I hope this helps :)

Thank you, I'll have a look at fixing that the coming week! :)
