Stacking the Deck

I've now printed off the deck of turn cards for the Bag the Hun Bogeys Over Berlin play test game next week, so will get them laminated to protect them from the player's grubby little fingers, as some of them are particularly grubby. In the past I have either just printed the cards then stuck them onto thin calling cards, so that they are a consistent size, then laminated them or just used those plastic sleeves you can buy for CCG cards. The latter tend to be a bit flimsy and too small to be easily readable on the table top while the former is a bit ad hoc for a participation game.

Neither of these solutions is great, so I decided to try and find some plastic laminating sleeves that are playing card size. I managed to source some 75mm x 105mm laminating sleeves via Amazon which look about right, although I did have to adjust the sizing of my cards slightly to 95mm x 65mm so that they would be a perfect fit. They should arrive in the post today, so I'll get cracking with the laminator later on. I may well do a card back as well with a suitable image to both obscure the identity of the card and to make them look really good.
