The End Game can always be included in the Game Play section. Now comes the fun part. You an draw art on paper or digitally create it. For this game, I used Keynote because it includes many helpful features. For example, instant alpha allows you to make certain areas of a picture transparent.
This allows a Photoshop like effect where the object can be removed from their backgrounds. I also use grids for my cards. The size of the cards depends on the size of the box. This will be determined in the next step. Here are some grids on a 8. I would only used these for cards that need to be large such as a white board or a key with many words on it,.
These cards are pretty small and have the same proportion as an 8. The proportion is perfect and the size is as well. The only problem I would have with it is that it would be hard to print cards double the size. My Instructables game needed cards that were double the size of others so that they would fit in the box 4x4 for the small cards and 4x2 for the small ones.
If not, you should use 4x4 or 3x3. Your cards need to include a backside too. To do this, leave a grid filled only with the backside of cards in between each sheet. You will also need to make a card, or a foldable sheet with the instructions that you typed in the last step.
Plus, the box makes it look more professional. Using a cut and fold template like the one shown above or with different dimensions. If you want, you can make cover art, or as I did, simply put a symbol and the title of the game. You also will want to have flaps to make it easier to glue. Feel free to reinforce your box with cardstock, cardboard, or anything else that works for you. I made the template for my box slightly larger than the cards will need. That way I can have rubber bands to keep the separate decks together.
For this step, you simply need to print the file and cut out the cards and box. I normally cut out each column on a grid first. Then I line up the columns and cut the rows out together.
This makes cutting out the cards easier. If there are margins that print with the cards, I would cut them off first. Glue the flaps of the box together, and insert the cards into the box. Now is the best part of the entire thing: Playing your game!
Grab some friends or have a family game night, but most importantly, have lots of fun. If you enjoyed this Instructable, please favorite, vote, and leave a comment.

The art of the cards can really make your game look good, so spend some time coming up with unique designs.
Add a text box at the bottom and write a card description. Beneath the art box in the center of the card, draw a rectangular text box. Write a description of the character, item, or whatever the card represents in the box.
Include info about what the card does, when it can be played, and any other special rules about it. Place the title of the card at the top of the card.
Just above the art box in the center of the card, draw a small, rectangular box. Use colors or symbols to help identify card types.
If you have different types of characters, actions, items, creatures, or any other types of cards, choosing specific colors for each type can help make them easier to differentiate. Use something like a sword symbol for fighting cards or a heart symbol for healing or magic cards. Add colors to your cards to make them pop and enhance the art as well. Create a single design for the back of all of your cards.
Come up with a design for the back of your cards that fits the theme of your game. Include the name of the game on the back of the card. Use the same design for the back of all of your cards.
As an example, if your game involves medieval knights or warfare, you could choose a wood or leather-looking design for the back of your card to suit the theme.
You could also use a logo or symbol instead of the name on the back of the cards. Make your own cards by drawing and cutting them out of paper. Draw more card templates on paper or cardstock and add the outlines for the art box, text box, and title.
Write the title and add any additional artwork and colors to complete the card. Make multiple cards at once by drawing a row of templates on a sheet of paper or cardstock and filling them out.
