Aphelion Sci-Fi Trading Card Template
by ShuffleKit
A space opera card set with ground unit, starship, event and upgrade fronts and a shared back, cut to poker size and print-ready. Every part of the frame is an editable shape, so it prints sharp at any size and changing its colour is one fill. The art runs the full width between lit rails. A gold cost plate sits over two aspect plates, and red attack and blue defense hexagons flank the trait bar above a white rules box. The type line at the top decides which front a card uses. Comes with a six-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 Aphelion Sci-Fi Trading Card Template
Five designs: Ground Unit Card, Starship Card, Event Card, Upgrade 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, Badge, Traits, Description, Attack and Defense. Six of those rows arrive filled in, so there is something on the design before you type a word.
Read the six sample cards
| Name | Subtitle | Cost | Traits | Description | Attack | Defense |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warden Kade | Ground Unit | 5 | Trooper • Concord • Veteran | Bulwark. While Warden Kade is ready, enemy units in this arena must attack him first. When Played: Give a Shield token to each other friendly Concord unit. If you control 3 or more units, draw a card and give Warden Kade a Shield token as well. | 4 | 6 |
| Rattler | Ground Unit | 3 | Droid • Syndicate • Scrapper | Salvage 1. When Rattler defeats a unit, put the top card of your deck into play as a resource. On Attack: Deal 1 damage to an enemy unit. If it is a Droid, deal 2 damage to it instead and exhaust it. That Droid doesn't ready at the start of the next round. | 3 | 3 |
| Kestrel Lance | Space Unit | 4 | Starfighter • Concord • Squadron | Overwatch. Kestrel Lance may attack on the turn it is played. When Played: Another friendly Starfighter gets +2/+0 for this phase. If you have the initiative, that Starfighter also gains Overwatch until the end of the round. | 3 | 4 |
| Gravewake | Space Unit | 7 | Capital Ship • Syndicate • Corsair | Boarding. When Gravewake deals combat damage to a unit, take control of an Upgrade attached to that unit and attach it to Gravewake. When Defeated: Deal 3 damage to each enemy Starfighter and 1 damage to each other enemy space unit. | 6 | 9 |
| Orbital Strike | Event | 5 | Tactic • Bombardment | Deal 5 damage to a ground unit and 2 damage to each other enemy ground unit. If you control a Capital Ship, this event costs 2 less to play, and you may also deal 1 damage to each enemy Starfighter. Then draw a card for each unit this event defeated. | ||
| Ion Repeater | Upgrade | 2 | Weapon • Modification | Attach to a friendly ground or space unit that has no Weapon. Attached unit gains: “On Attack: Exhaust an enemy unit that costs 3 or less. That unit doesn't ready at the start of the next round and can't use its abilities until then.” | 2 | 1 |
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 Aphelion Sci-Fi Trading Card Template
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Still have questions? Contact us
What happens when I add Aphelion Sci-Fi Trading Card Template to a project?
The five designs, the nine fields and the six 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 Aphelion Sci-Fi Trading 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 Aphelion Sci-Fi Trading 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 Aphelion Sci-Fi Trading 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.
