tools for Basic TCG

See here for the rules of Basic TCG.

booster pack generator.zip contains a small Python script for generating randomised booster packs from a card collection, for limited formats like Sealed and Draft. It has some limited support for different card rarities, in case you want to get into that aspect of set design. Simply drag and drop card images (.jpg or .png) into the appropriate folders to design your set.

Standard Card Size.zip contains .afpuf files for laying up and printing 9 cards (a 3 x 3 grid) on either A4 or Letter paper. These use a slightly different card frame sized at 3.5 inchs by 2.5 inches, which is the size of poker (and Magic) cards. that I find this size easier to work with than the original business card size, as you can sleeve printed cards with Magic cards for some stiffness.

The rest of the files are older, worse templates made for the original card size. I'm still learning to properly use various tools in Affinity Publisher, so this is a learning curve for me. I'll try and update those templates to be better.

Original card frame design by Viditya Voleti. I've tried to make the standard-size card frame as close as I can to his.
