How to Assemble the Cards?

Once downloaded you will need a:

  • Printer
  • Paper (card stock preferred)
  • Scissors or a paper cutter
  • Glue (if you didn’t do double sided printing but did print the card backs)
  • Laminator (optional, though this is not the most eco friendly option!). If you did double sided printing you can laminate the card sheets and then cut them out.

Steps:

  1. Cut the cards out
  2. Adhere the front and back with glue and set to dry
  3. Play! (learn how to below)
