Burrowby Printable Happy Families Card Game Template

Each card is a row in the sheet, and a family is the four rows that share a Family, such as Our Family or Planets. Type each card's name in Name and pick Father, Mother, Son or Daughter in Member, and the list at the foot of the card fills in that member. To use photos, name each file after its card, such as Dad.jpg, and choose Add images by file name… on the Picture column. A family of things rather than people, such as four planets, leaves Member empty, and its cards print without the list.

They are close relatives. In both you ask another player for a card, and you keep asking for as long as you get what you ask for. Go Fish uses an ordinary deck and collects four of a kind, and a player who is turned away draws from a pile. Happy families has its own picture cards, every card is dealt at the start, and a player who is turned away hands the turn to the player who said "Not at home".

Export a print PDF, which comes with the Hobby plan: nine poker cards, 2.5 by 3.5 inches, to a sheet of A4 or Letter, so the 44 cards fill four sheets and eight cards of a fifth. The backs come out lined up for two-sided printing. Print one test sheet to see which way your printer turns the page, then use card stock if your printer takes it. The back is a dark pattern that runs off every edge, so a picture does not show through and a back printed a little off-center still looks like every other back.

The two designs, the four fields and the 44 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. This one is ours, and you keep commercial rights to what you build from it, crowdfunding and retail included.
