[Comp J] Alien

I meant to post this a while ago but then work blew up (figuratively).

My idea is for a 2-player, hidden movement game where one player controls a group of survivors trying to get off a spaceship and the other player controls the alien who want to murder everyone.

My question is, are there any tools for designing cards and board layouts?

  • There are tools... There's this thing called NanDeck that's supposed to layout cards, but I haven't used it myself you. And honestly, there's really no need for that - work in whatever. Word, Powerpoint, anything really. It doesn't matter that much.

    I use photoshop and illustrator, but of course that's me.
  • What I have done before is use Word's label + mail merge function to make the cards from an Excel spreadsheet. Then I print/export to PDF.

    There may be better tutorials out there, but this is the gist of it.

    For the board and card sizes, you can download the templates from the Game Crafter, and then draw on top of them. For my other game, I checked the template afterward and found out that I had not left enough of the edge for a decent bleed.

    Use it/don't use it.
