Slatemoor Blank Board Game Template
by ShuffleKit
Four printable game boards at 8 × 8 inches, each with a back, and an event deck and an item deck to play on them: a square grid lettered A to H and numbered 1 to 8, a loop track of 36 spaces round the edge with poker-size spaces for a draw pile and a discard pile in the middle, a winding path of 36 numbered stops from START to a star, and a hex map of 96 hexes in three terrains. They are drawn as carved slate and parchment on a dark misty mat. Each board's name and a one-line goal sit on a plaque you can retype, and the Board Type column picks which board and which back a row gets. The cards are poker size with a name and a line of rules on parchment: events are crimson with a star, items moss green with a key, front and back, set by the Card Type column. Comes with four sample boards and 20 sample cards that work on any of the boards.

Printing the boards and cards
Boards: Square Board, 8 × 8 in, 203.2 × 203.2 mm, 2400 × 2400 pixels at 300 DPI. With an eighth of an inch of bleed on every edge, a board goes out as 2475 × 2475.
Cards: Poker, 2.5 × 3.5 in, 63.5 × 88.9 mm, 750 × 1050 pixels at 300 DPI. With an eighth of an inch of bleed on every edge, a card goes out as 825 × 1125.
On the Hobby plan, export a print-ready PDF with bleed and cut lines, each part at its own size. PNG and SVG come out at the same sizes, which is what Tabletop Simulator wants. On Indie, send the game to a print-on-demand partner through Print & Ship. The export adds the bleed: let the artwork run into it and keep the text inside the cut line.
Questions about Slatemoor Blank Board Game Template
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Still have questions? Contact us
What happens when I add Slatemoor Blank Board Game Template to a project?
The eight board designs, two card designs, their fields, four sample boards and 20 sample cards are copied into one project of yours, with the fields already pointed at the designs: the boards in a collection of their own and the cards under All cards. Nothing stays linked to this page afterwards, so the author's later edits never reach your copy.
What size does Slatemoor Blank Board Game Template print at?
The boards are Square Board size, 8 × 8 in, 203.2 × 203.2 mm, 2400 × 2400 pixels at 300 DPI. The cards are 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 each part exports at its own size.
Is Slatemoor Blank Board 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 board or card drawn on it follows.
Can I use my own boards and cards instead of the samples?
Yes. The boards and the cards each have a sheet, and the samples are rows in them, 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 Slatemoor Blank Board Game Template?
Yes. This one is ours, and you keep commercial rights to what you build from it, crowdfunding and retail included.
