Klaxon Action Card Game Template
by ShuffleKit
An action card set printed as wartime posters, with Assault, Standing Order, Setback and Truce fronts and a shared back, cut to poker size and print-ready. Each card is a flat poster illustration on aged stock, the kind's mark notched into one corner of the picture and the cost plate into the other, the name set in spaced capitals between two stars on a black band, and the rules centred on a coloured panel below with a slogan under a hairline. Every part of the frame is an editable shape, so a panel is one fill to recolour, and the type line you give a card picks its front. Comes with an eight-card sample deck of assaults, orders, setbacks and truces.

Adding a template copies its designs, fields, and sample cards into your own project. Your copy is yours, and later changes by the author never touch it.

What’s in Klaxon Action Card Game Template
Five designs: Assault Action Card, Standing Order Card, Setback Event Card, Truce Action Card and Card Back.
Your cards live in a sheet, one row each, with a column for every field the designs read: Name, Artwork, Subtitle, Cost, Description and Flavor Text. Eight of those rows arrive filled in, so there is something on the design before you type a word.
Read the eight sample cards
| Name | Subtitle | Description | Flavor Text |
|---|---|---|---|
| Breakthrough | Assault Action | Choose one enemy position and move every unit you have in the neighbouring sector into it. Any unit that ends the push inside that position stays there until the end of the next round. | The wall is only as thick as its gate |
| Night Raid | Assault Action | Play this only while the lamps are out. Take one supply token from any player without telling the table which player you took it from, then put this card at the bottom of the action deck. | Nothing moves that the dark cannot hide |
| Dig In | Standing Order | Your units in one sector cannot be pushed out of it for the rest of the game. They also cannot advance out of it again until you spend a whole turn taking this standing order back down. | A spade today is a wall tomorrow |
| Blackout | Standing Order | Until the end of the round no player may look at another player's hand, count another player's supply, or ask a question about either of them. Trades go on, but they are all made blind. | What is not seen cannot be struck |
| Supply Lost | Setback Event | Reveal this the moment it is drawn. Every player returns one supply token of their own choosing to the stores, and no player may draw a supply token again until their next turn begins. | The road was open an hour ago |
| Fog Rolls In | Setback Event | Reveal this the moment it is drawn. No unit may move more than one sector for the rest of the round, and no player may play an Assault Action until the fog lifts at the round's end. | The map is no use in weather like this |
| Ceasefire | Truce Action | No player may attack you and you may not attack anyone, for one full round. Any player who breaks this hands you two supply tokens and takes the top card of the setback pile face up. | Every gun can be put down at once |
| Safe Passage | Truce Action | Name one road running between two sectors. Until the end of the round any player may move along that road freely, and no unit standing beside it may be attacked while it is still moving. | Let them through and count them out |
Printing at poker size
Poker: 2.5 × 3.5 in, 63.5 × 88.9 mm, 750 × 1050 pixels at 300 DPI.
On the Hobby plan, export a print-ready PDF with bleed and cut lines. PNG and SVG come out at the same size, which is what Tabletop Simulator wants. On Indie, send it to a print-on-demand partner through Print & Ship.
A printer asks for an eighth of an inch of bleed on every edge on top of those numbers, so this card goes out as 825 × 1125. The export adds it. Let the artwork run into the bleed and keep the text inside the cut line, and nothing arrives trimmed.
Questions about Klaxon Action Card Game Template
Everything you need to know before getting started.

What happens when I add Klaxon Action Card Game Template to a project?
The five designs, the six fields and the eight sample cards are copied into a project of yours, with the fields already pointed at the design. Nothing stays linked to this page afterwards, so the author's later edits never reach your copy.
What size does Klaxon Action Card Game Template print at?
Poker size: 2.5 × 3.5 in, 63.5 × 88.9 mm, 750 × 1050 pixels at 300 DPI. Those are the numbers to hand a print shop, and the ones to check a sleeve against.
Is Klaxon Action Card Game Template free?
Yes. Adding it, editing it, filling it with your own cards and playtesting it online are all free. Exporting print files starts on the Hobby plan, and Print & Ship through The Game Crafter is on Indie. No template sits behind a paid plan.
Can I change the designs?
Yes. They land in your project as ordinary layouts, so you can drag an element somewhere else, put your own art behind the frame, restyle the type or rename a field. Edit a design once and every card on it follows.
Can I use my own cards instead of the samples?
Yes — the samples are rows in a sheet, and they are there to be overwritten. Type over them, add rows of your own, or bring a CSV and match its headers to the fields.
Can I sell a game made with Klaxon Action Card Game Template?
Yes. This one is ours, and you keep commercial rights to what you build from it, crowdfunding and retail included.
