So instead of jotting this down in some google keep notes or a drive doc, I’m sharing it here. This is a short summary of things I need to solve or want to add to Moogh.
When making print and play games I try to make one file everybody can use instead of one for US and one for Europe. To have one working document we need to make the prints within the shared space of the formats. The smallest shared space between US Letter and International A4 is 210 mm width x 279 mm height. (8.27″ x 11″).
And use a margin that is safe for most printers which could be 0,25″ or 6,5 mm.
Remember that your art needs to be saved as CMYK and not RBG.
I is easy to get sidetracked when you work on your own projects.

As an artist you probably love to sit and gape on the artwork in your games. One really neat thing about the new digital playing platforms is that it is a doorway to study all cards in high resolution, in all games, without buying them all. Actually looking at card illustrations in Tabletopia feels different than looking at a real print. Most artist color their art digitally today and seeing an artwork fullscreen on your monitor makes you almost sense the brushstrokes. Study game art this way is an absolute blast. This is why I did a little spring collection of top 4 games to explore on Tabletopia you should check out and / or play.
This game is a demo of the overly popular and awaited KS game Santorini. With rules you can learn in 4 minutes – this is a game for everyone. There is not much illustration work in it but what it got – looks fantastic! Art is by Mr. Cuddington that we did and interview with earlier – which you can find here.

Introducing new ways we can play games is a craving most designers have. Zephyr Winds of Change is one of those games.

In the game the top transparent card is you crew member and the bottom one is the fraction and this gives a 300+ number of combinations in the game.
