Introduction

Cards are of the most common components in a game and likely part of your design as well. How to prepare your card files the right way? First of all, follow these 3 ground rules:

Keep all important artwork and texts from the cards within the margin line. Make sure that there is enough background artwork that extends all the way up to the bleed line (or even better, beyond the bleed line!).

Leave a minimum of 3mm bleed as well as 3mm margin on each card.
