HOW TO CRAFT THE ASPECT AND THE CATASTROPHE CARDS ?

Note : the pictures bellow feature cards from an older version of the game. The material has evolved, but the way to cut and craft remains the same.

1

1 - PRINT THE SHEETS
Once downloaded, you need to print them out on a A4 sheet. If you're using USLetter size, your printer should adjust automatically, but make sure you don't select the option "scale to fit".

Use white regular paper, or any color of your choice. I leave that detail to your artistic sensibility.
Only the construction cards are in color, but you can also print them in B&W to save your color printer.

2 - SPRAY GLUE
To put the cards together I strongly recommand you to use glue in spray. It is more expensive than regular glue in stick, but it's easier to put a uniform layer and glue in stick tend to make the paper bend.

3 - CUTTING AND PASTING THE SHEETS
Paste the sheets on the cardboard. Make sure you use a soft quality of cardboard to have the cards easy to shuffle during the game. We do not provide a back for the Construction Cards and Catastrophe Cards, it'll save you some crafting time.

4 - CUT THE CARDS USING SCISSORS
It is recommanded not to use box cutters to cut the cards. Cutters tend to leave a groove at the cutting edge, which makes it impossible to shuffle the cards. Scissors have a sharp and neet cutting edge.

5 - CUT THE ANGLE
Don't forget to round the 4 angles of each card.

HOW TO CRAFT ASPECT CARDS AND CONSTRUCTION BOARD BASE?

This shouldn't be too hard. Just print the sheet, paste it on any piece of strong cardboard, and then cut it.
