Vellum Medieval Board Game Card Template
by ShuffleKit
A medieval fantasy strategy card set drawn in ink on parchment, with Unit, Hero, Structure and Spell fronts and a shared back, cut to poker size and print-ready. Each picture sits straight on stained paper under a dark name banner, and a cracked panel below holds a small-caps type line, the resource cost and the rules. Units, heroes and structures carry a stat plate with a sword, a shield oval and a heart. Heroes are gilded and wear a crown crest, structures are slate with battlements, and spells are oxblood with a wax seal. Every part of the frame is an editable shape, and the type line picks each card's front. Comes with an eight-card deck of masked trolls and goblins, their towers and their spells.

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 Vellum Medieval Board Game Card Template
Five designs: Unit Card, Hero Card, Structure Card, Spell 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, Attack, Defense and Health. 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 | Attack | Defense | Health |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bramblehide Brute | Troll Warrior | At the start of your turn, each other Troll next to Bramblehide Brute heals 1 damage. While the Brute stands next to one of your Structures, that Structure gets +1 Defense, and enemy units that attack it must attack the Brute first whenever they are able to reach him. | 2 | 2 | 8 |
| Nettlebow Sniper | Goblin Archer | Ranged 3. The Sniper can attack a unit up to three spaces away, over walls and other units. If it did not move this turn, each of its attacks deals 1 extra damage. It can't attack a unit standing next to it, so always keep a Troll or another Goblin close by to stand guard in front of it. | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| Gorrak Ironbrow | Troll Hero | Warcry: once per turn, before combat, every Troll within two spaces of Gorrak gets +1 Attack until the end of the turn. When Gorrak falls, you may discard two cards to return him to your hand instead of your discard pile, with all of his damage healed and his Warcry ready again. | 5 | 3 | 12 |
| Skritch the Unseen | Goblin Hero | When Skritch enters play, look at the top three cards of your deck and put them back in any order. Once per turn, pay one Grain to move any Goblin to an empty space next to him. Enemy archers can't target Skritch while another Goblin stands between him and the archer's space. | 3 | 2 | 7 |
| Spiked Palisade | Troll Structure | Enemy units can't move through the Palisade. Whenever an enemy unit attacks it in melee, that unit takes 1 damage first. Your units standing behind it get +1 Defense against ranged attacks. You may build a second Palisade next to this one for one Wood less than it would normally cost. | 1 | 6 | 14 |
| Rickety Watchtower | Goblin Structure | Your units next to the Watchtower can't be ambushed. At the end of your turn, the Watchtower deals 2 damage to one enemy unit within three spaces that it can see. While a Goblin Archer stands next to it, that archer gets Ranged +1 and can see over walls and through smoke. | 2 | 4 | 10 |
| Bog Brew | Goblin Spell | Choose up to three Goblins you control. Each one heals 3 damage and gets +1 Attack until the end of your next turn. If any of them is a Hero, draw a card. Each Goblin that drank the brew can't move during your next turn while it lies sleeping it off in the warm mud of the bog. | |||
| Rockfall | Troll Spell | Choose a space. Every unit on it and on each space next to it takes 3 damage, and each Structure there takes 5 instead. Then leave a rubble marker on the chosen space. Rubble blocks movement until a unit spends a whole turn of its own standing on it to clear the stones away. |
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 Vellum Medieval Board Game Card Template
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Still have questions? Contact us
What happens when I add Vellum Medieval Board Game Card Template to a project?
The five designs, the eight 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 Vellum Medieval 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 Vellum Medieval 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 Vellum Medieval 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.
