# How I Made This
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I printed everything but the weapon tokens on
|
|
|
|
|
something that felt like about 80-pound glossy card stock.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The cards were run through a Cricut CNC machine using the
|
|
|
|
|
`card-cuts-4x4.svg` file,
|
|
|
|
|
to give them nice rounded edges.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The board pieces I cut by hand with a scrapbooking paper cutter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The weapon tokens were sent through the Cricut.
|
|
|
|
|
I used the Android version of their app,
|
|
|
|
|
which doesn't allow print and cut,
|
|
|
|
|
so I just ran it through twice:
|
|
|
|
|
once printing both layers,
|
|
|
|
|
and once cutting only the circles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We colored the bands on the player and weapon cards
|
|
|
|
|
using some colored pencils,
|
|
|
|
|
and my daughter drew furniture in the rooms and on the room cards.

# Why tiny cards?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cheapass Games made a fun game called "Kill Doctor Lucky"
|
|
|
|
|
which uses tiny cards.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This game is,
|
|
|
|
|
as of this writing,
|
|
|
|
|
offered for free download from the
|
|
|
|
|
Crab Fragment Labs game preserve.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I actually made the 4x4 template to print this game out.
|
|
|
|
|
I thought it would be cute to have the detective game
|
|
|
|
|
use the same size cards as the murder game.
