Here To Slay House Rules Reference Cards

By: Valdus

Quote from Reddit:

Since the expansions, for SOME reason, did not include new reference cards with the added classes or updated rules, and the existing reference cards were a little wanting, I made new ones.

TLDR: I made new reference cards for myself, then went overboard making sure every version that most people could want is covered.

I've generated new reference cards for:

• Retail base game (6 classes)
• Retail base + Warriors & Druids Expansion (8 classes)
• Retail base + Berserkers & Necromancers Expansion (8 classes)
• Retail base + Both Expansions (10 classes)
• Retail base + Both Expansions (10 classes) with 8-classes-to-win adjustment
• Kickstarter base game (7 classes)
• Kickstarter base + Warriors & Druids Expansion (9 classes)
• Kickstarter base + Berserkers & Necromancers Expansion (9 classes)
• Kickstarter base + Both Expansions (11 classes)
• Kickstarter base + Both Expansions (11 classes) with 8-classes-to-win adjustment

Sound good? Just wait - every one of the above is pre-generated in PDFs in three layouts:

• Original Size and Layout (nearly identical to the original card, as close as I could make it)
• Original Size, New Layout
• Tarot Size, New Layout, w/ Gameplay Terms and Modifier/Challenge info included for new players

The PDFs are at card size plus a 2mm margin all around with crop marks, so that you can easily pass them off to a professional printer if you desire, or print and cut by hand without worry of white edges. I cut mine a little wider than the crop marks so they fit tighter in the sleeve. I decided to do it this way rather than on letter-sized pages because it would be easier for other people to edit the source files to their liking without messing things up. The downside to this is that we lose the option to easily print them "booklet" style, but chances are if you are printing on plain paper and doing a booklet, you are putting it in a sleeve - so you can just use a piece of tape to hold the two pieces straight and slide them into a sleeve anyway. Any PDF software will let you print as many copies on a single page as you can fit, by the way.

The source files are also set up so that picky people can easily adjust the background and outline colour to match their cards (every print run has different colouring - we bought two copies and one was much more vibrant than the other), as well as the tarot-sized version having a few variants including one that leaves off the new player help text in favour of a big space for your custom house rules.

Here are some examples:

Example of original-style and -size cards with all 11 classes, and optional 8-class-to-win rule. (All other cards have the normal 6 or 7 requirement.)
Original Style


Original size, with adjustments to the text to try and make it clearer for new players.
Revamped Style


Tarot sized (same as the white/black cards), with newer text and a better reference for new players. This one includes a special win condition I added for a laugh at our game group. There is also a variant which makes the Class icons larger (same size as the other cards) and eliminates the help text in favour of House Rules.
