Question: How does one buy a card with a cost? Do we simply trade the cards and not have a cost to them?
Event Cards needed = 3xs the amount that are played
Instruction Booklet design:
- GameCrafter Template
- 2.5 x 3.5 multipage booklet fits into the box
Small pro box (https://www.thegamecrafter.com/publish/product/SmallProBox). This box can hold up to 68 cards' worth of thickness, and two poker decks can fit into it side by side. You would have room for your cards plus a 20-page small or medium booklet.
