A Carcassone deck of cards
« on: March 10, 2017, 08:37:21 PM »
I've created (using the images from a user on BBG) a Carc deck of cards that doubles as a "rule book" for most of the expansions and also a randomized to choose what expansion you'd like to play.  I have 6 spots left to fill.  I was thinking of filling them with the wedges from the wheel of fortune but I don't own the expansion :( nor can I find high def images of it? So what do you think?

I'd check here for some ideas. Add to the list the recent German Cathedrals and Watchtowers expansions and the three elements from Under the Big Top, and you'll have five more cards filled (possibly more if you include cards for the base game rules).

I recently ordered a deck of these myself (photo here). Echoing whaleyland, I would recommend adding German Cathedrals and The Labryinth -- attached below -- and Watchtowers and Under the Big Top if you plan to use Carcassonne 2.0 expansions.

You could also consider adding cards for a few favorite fan expansions like I did; I'd be happy to share some of the already-made cards I have for many of them.

Thanks for the additional cards btw!

ArtsCow is pretty straightforward. Orders arrive fairly fast (I think my last two came in about 7 business days). I think you can choose different fronts and backs for all the cards. You also don't have to put the suits and numbers on the cards – they can be completely customised.

My experience was good. You can customize backs if you order a certain type of playing deck, but I did a 3-decks-for-$18 deal a while back where each deck of 54 had to have the same back. (In other words, you could have three different card-backs overall.) There's another 3-for-$18 deal going on right now too. If you find some other fun print-n-play card games, this can be great. I got a re-themed version of Reiner Knizia's Battle Line (see the link in my earlier post for a pic), and I've also seen re-themes of other card games like Hanabi, Lost Cities, etc. Some don't quite fit in a 54-card deck but you can always do what I did and have the same back across two or three decks, which lets you split things up however you want.
