Afterglow Neon Card Game Template
by ShuffleKit
A neon duel card game set: Pulse, Static, Umbra and Venom deck fronts and a shared back, cut to poker size and print-ready. Each card is an ivory border round a near-black face, with the artwork filling everything above a black rules panel. The deck's neon plate runs down the top of the left edge carrying the deck mark and the card's Attack, and a black tab under it takes the card's kind sideways to a pointed tail. The Cost sits in a neon ring notched into the panel's top edge, over a band of the same colour, and the rules print white on a faint contour texture. Every part of the frame is an editable shape, so a whole deck recolours in one fill, and a Deck column picks each card's front. Comes with an eight-card sample deck.

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 Afterglow Neon Card Game Template
Five designs: Pulse Card, Static Card, Umbra Card, Venom 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, Attack, Cost, Description, Traits and Deck. 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 | Attack | Cost | Description | Traits | Deck |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hexfang | Strike | 7 | 3 | IN A CLASH: Discard the top card of your deck and add its Attack to this one. If what you discarded was a Strike, your rival also hands you one Charge out of their pool, and this card stays on the table until the round ends. | Prowler · Night | Pulse |
| Overdrive | Surge | 4 | 2 | ON PLAY: Take a second turn this round, then sit the next one out. AFTERGLOW: If you won the clash this card was played into, the first card of your next turn costs nothing at all and cannot be countered by your rival. | Tempo · Burn | Pulse |
| Voltborn | Guard | 5 | 2 | WHILE IN PLAY: Every Static card you play costs one Charge less, down to nothing. IN A CLASH: Spend a Charge to swap this card's Attack with the Attack of the card it is facing, before either of them is settled. | Construct · Coil | Static |
| Signal Break | Counter | 3 | 4 | COUNTER: Cancel the card your rival has just played and send it to the bottom of their deck. They draw nothing to replace it and the clash is settled without them. Play this from your hand at any time in the round. | Field · Jam | Static |
| Nightveil | Guard | 6 | 3 | GUARD: The first card played against you each round does nothing at all. ON REVEAL: Look at your rival's hand and name one card in it. They put that card at the bottom of their deck and draw another one. | Spirit · Veil | Umbra |
| Blackout | Trick | 2 | 1 | ON PLAY: Both players lay their next card face down and settle that clash blind. AFTERGLOW: Whoever is holding the fewer cards when the lights come back up wins every tie for the rest of the round, blind or not. | Gambit · Dark | Umbra |
| Sporejaw | Strike | 8 | 5 | IN A CLASH: Your rival discards one card at random before any Attack is compared. ROT: Every card discarded this way gives this one 1 Attack for the rest of the round, and the count carries into the next clash. | Beast · Rot | Venom |
| Bloomrot | Curse | 3 | 2 | ON PLAY: Choose a card in your rival's play area. It loses 2 Attack until the round ends. SPREAD: When that card leaves play, move this curse onto another card beside it and take one Charge out of the pool as it spreads. | Field · Spore | Venom |
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 Afterglow Neon Card Game Template
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Still have questions? Contact us
What happens when I add Afterglow Neon Card Game 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 Afterglow Neon 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 Afterglow Neon 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 Afterglow Neon Card Game Template?
Yes. This one is ours, and you keep commercial rights to what you build from it, crowdfunding and retail included.

This template is free, and so is the editor it opens in.
