Thicket Character Board Game Card Template
by ShuffleKit
A character card set for a cooperative board game: Marsh, Canopy, Ridge and Dunes fronts and a shared back, cut to poker size and print-ready. A painted warden fills the top of each card under a habitat ribbon and a warden's crest, with its name and job over the foot of the painting. A cream band across the bottom carries the cost block, the card's keywords and its rules. The frame is built from editable shapes, so the ribbon, the crest and the cost block are fills you can recolour, and the habitat you pick for a card chooses its front. Comes with an eight-card sample deck of invented beast-folk wardens.

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 Thicket Character Board Game Card Template
Five designs: Marsh Warden Card, Canopy Warden Card, Ridge Warden Card, Dunes Warden 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, Traits, Description and Habitat. 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 | Cost | Traits | Description | Habitat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ondrel | Reed Warden | 3 | Wading · Watchful | Move through any flooded space without spending an action, and bring one other warden standing beside you along with you. Deep water never stops either of you this round. | Marsh |
| Bogul | Tide Reader | 2 | Amphibious · Steady | Look at the top two cards of the flood deck. Put one back on top and bury the other at the bottom. You may tell the other wardens what you saw, but never in what order they came. | Marsh |
| Nettlejack | Grove Keeper | 4 | Rooted · Stubborn | Spend an action to raise a briar wall in your space. Nothing may leave or enter that space again until a warden spends two whole actions cutting that briar wall back down again. | Canopy |
| Pipkin | Seed Runner | 2 | Quick · Forager | Take two moves for one action, and pick up any one token you pass over on the way without stopping for it. You may hand it to any other warden you finish the move beside. | Canopy |
| Corvane | Sky Watcher | 5 | Winged · Far-Sighted | Spend an action to look at every threat card queued against one habitat, then move any one of them to the back of its queue and warn the table what is coming to that habitat next. | Ridge |
| Thrummel | Stone Singer | 4 | Heavy · Unmoved | Threats never push you out of a space. When one tries, it stops beside you instead and loses the rest of its move, and every warden standing in that space with you holds their ground. | Ridge |
| Vasquel | Caravan Guide | 3 | Tireless · Pathfinder | Once each round you may move along a trade road for free, and any warden who starts the round beside you may follow you down it for as far as you care to travel that turn. | Dunes |
| Kessit | Glass Finder | 3 | Digging · Patient | Spend an action to dig in your space and draw one relic from the sand pile. Keep it, or hand it to any warden standing with you before the end of the round. Nothing buried here is lost. | Dunes |
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 Thicket Character Board Game Card Template
Everything you need to know before getting started.

What happens when I add Thicket Character Board Game Card Template to a project?
The five designs, the seven 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 Thicket Character Board Game Card 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 Thicket Character Board Game Card 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 Thicket Character Board Game Card Template?
Yes. This one is ours, and you keep commercial rights to what you build from it, crowdfunding and retail included.
Ready to build your card game?
This template is free, and so is the editor it opens in.
