True greatness, you are a hero to board gamers everywhere, whether or not they know it yet.

[@TabletopTurtle]

People keep saying the youtube comment section is mean, but I'm not seeing it. Thanks! Hope you enjoy the game!

[@ryandalton-qq]

This is incredible and something that I've been waiting for years, thank you so much for doing this!

[@TabletopTurtle]

Not a problem! Always fun to give a little something to a community that has given so much to me in the past.

[@gabtrat9091]

I've always wanted to make a print and play version of this and yours is my favorite. Procrastination wins again!

[@benjaminbaker4168]

Wow. I’ve been tempted to do this same thing. But man alive, you nailed it. This is absolutely amazing! You did such an amazing job, and your review was so informative, well presented, and yet super snappy and well paced. Seriously thank you!

[@TabletopTurtle]

Damn, those are some mighty kind words, Benjamin! Thank you! Hopefully a good sale comes up soon and you can print the cards off and have some fun.

[@cpcp8419]

What a lovely set and how gracious after all the work & energy it must have involved. Thank you!. We're a 4-hr drive downwind from you along HWY 401 in Toronto. It's been fun discovering content creators nearby, such as with Nights Around the Table. May I ask, what size are these? Will the printers know from the file specs? Also, I expect "Back" means the back for all cards, except for those specified as "Back" for a particular card title (eg. Brick vs Brick Back) that are the flipside for that card only?? Oh, and the Player Aid sizes? Printer recommendation? Cheers, Carl.

[@TabletopTurtle]

I print the standard poker size when I go to artscow or printerstudio. I'm not sure the exact size. Back does indeed mean back of the card.

[@cpcp8419]

@@TabletopTurtle Good to hear from you. Thanks! I imagine standard poker size relates to the same MTG standard card that utilizes roughly the 64x89mm sleeve. I came across your links to 3 printers and, funny enough, I gravitated to MPC, expecting their focus on playing cards was advantageous but have you had better luck with the others instead for this set? Btw, I didn't mention that the discovery of this video was a trail off of your more recent Top 100 referenced by Rahdo in his weekly posting. What a joy to see it (your vid) and particularly as it was moving towards the end. I sensed an earnestness from the outset that was refreshing among the plethora of material produced now. Thanks again. Keep up the good work.

[@JanHoos]

I really love the style you chose. Something that's much more evocative than the black box cards.

[@TabletopTurtle]

Thank you! Hope you printed them off and are now showing people who have never heard of the game how amazing it is.

[@JanHoos]

@@TabletopTurtle It’s on my list still. I wanted to find the best way to print them and cut them or see if there’s a company that can do it for me ^_^

[@monoludico6166]

Great game! One of my 3 favorite card games of all time. I have the "Homoludicus" Spanish edition, which has different art from all editions I've seen (yours is pretty nice, btw). Great video!

[@TabletopTurtle]

Nice! Shame we have to make our own copies to play this awsome game

[@monoludico6166]

@TabletopTurtle so true

[@Solamar1]

By chance do you have the player aids as photoshop files? I wanted to add the "Limits" text to it. I also wanted to reformat it so that I could use extra cards to print out the player aids as either a 3 card set or a 1 card set..

[@TabletopTurtle]

I can dig that file up and put it in the file section I suppose.

[@conradovergueiro]

Wow! Thank you for your time doing that! I will absolutely print them to play with my group of friends!

[@TabletopTurtle]

Please do! You'll enjoy it.

[@der_stephen]

Thank you so much for investing the time and publicly offering this new design! I think it's really great. I am thinking about translating the assets into German. However, for this I really need the PSD files for the player aids. I would hugely appreciate it if you could publish these!

[@TabletopTurtle]

No problem! Enjoy it! Link in the description of the vide.

Good luck!

[@larrye]

Such an amazing game. Its been in my top 10 for a long time. One day, I hope to see a reprint with Ian O'Toole art (he's a big fan of the game too).

[@TabletopTurtle]

Fingers crossed!

[@Flicky669]

Thank you for working on this and sharing it with us! I love (almost) everything about it and plan to print it sometime in the future (I can print it for free at my local library). I just have one small issue/request. I like all the font styles except for one--the font on the main text of the card (the one that describes what you can do with the card) feels like it doesn't fit with the aesthetic of the rest of the card. I'm not sure what it is--maybe it feels too plain or too modern for the theme of the game. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like a little tweaking of that style of font would make a difference. But perhaps I'm just being a little nittpicky :) Anyways, thank you for doing this! Also, you've earned yourself a new subscriber :)

[@TabletopTurtle]

artscow and printer studio are both good but it can get costly with big decks. I know some people do group buys.

[@TheKingOfRad]

Thank you so much for all your work! I've been wanting to play this game for years but I refuse to shell out the money. I'll probably have these printed up for me, though. They look so good! Please tell me you're going to do a How to Play video, too.

[@TabletopTurtle]

You're welcome! It's funny, I was considering doing a how to play recently because everything I could find online was fairly low quality and very old when I was learning to play myself.

[@TheKingOfRad]

@TabletopTurtle you should do it! Show off those cards some more :D

[@ebrown2324]

This is gorgeous. I just want to make sure I have this correct before sending it off to the printers. Brick, Concrete, Marble, Stone, Wood - Have unique backs (Brick Back, Concrete Back, Marble Back, Stone Back, Wood Back) What about the Merchants for each of those? Do they use the regular back? All other cards use the regular Back. Finally, the Senator is Double Side. Is this correct???

Amazing art, thank you so much for sharing!! Can I ask, would you mind to tell me the dimensions of the aid cards? I know the others are standard 63x88mm. I need to know that so I can get it printed professionally :) maybe 80x120mm, like Lotr tcg path/battleground cards?

[@TabletopTurtle]

I don't remember. You would have to check the forum thread; however, I'd make it fairly large so you can fit lots of cards. Really it's up to you.

[@allencordell]

Sick!!! Thank you! You wouldn't happen to have a box design as well, or matching Rule Book, would you?

[@TabletopTurtle]

The rulebook I just use the one available online and I'm not really sure how to design a box. I made another image that could go on the box, but I don't know how to structure everything for printing on the sides and back.

[@allencordell]

Copy that, thanks@@TabletopTurtle

[@sosa1986]

Absolutely amazing work on the design of the cards. Like you mentioned, much more thematic and the art on everything looks great. Any box designs you've played around with?

[@TabletopTurtle]

Thanks! Sadly I have not designed any box, but I believe a few people have on the BGG thread.

[@Thepaintedmini]

I just printed my own copy! Exciting stuff.

[@TabletopTurtle]

Good! I hope you love it!

[@shatnershairpiece]

Good job on this! I sold my $15 copy ten years ago for massive profit but regretted it later after I couldn’t buy it anymore. This might be the only game I ever had a desire to print myself. (Other than 1000 magic card proxies) how many cards are in this game? I forgot that this wasn’t good at two. Maybe this was why I sold it. The entire history of this game is really fascinating, mired in copyright issues and ripped off kickstarter patrons. It might be the only highly rated game that is impossible to buy and will never be reprinted.

[@TabletopTurtle]

I routinely sell games that go out of print, even if I love them, because the money is too hard to pass up! There is 193 cards for the base and the two expansions. But I believe there might actually be more than that since I also did the Board Game Geek expansion. You can see the little expansion symbols at the bottom of the materials banner. Naturally you don't have to print all of the expansions.

[@jrlad7271]

@@TabletopTurtle You mind if I ask what rules you used to play this? Is there a updated community errata or something?

[@TabletopTurtle]

Well you can print this on a site like printer studio and from there they sort of instruct you on what to do. Alternatively you could print them off yourself and put a bunch of cards on a PDF page and then put the backs on them. The Aids are all sized to print on a standard size piece of paper. If I have some time I'll try to make some public printing saves on a couple of card printing sites so I can just share that link and people can just add to cart.
