Files Contain: More-distinct cards for the Public Opinion and Party Policy decks.

I have a hard time telling Public Opinion cards apart, because they tend to feature small, dark icons and pictures of cranes. Here are replacement cards I made, designed to be immediately identifiable from a distance and colored so as not to exclude red/green colorblind players.

Files Contain: More-distinct cards for the Public Opinion and Party Policy decks.

This may be more about my shortcomings than anything else, but I can't consistently tell the Party Policy cards apart at any length greater than about 12 inches. With the exception of the tomato (and maybe 'taxes') they all just blur together as small, dark icons. Asking other players which cards they have face-up in front of them is... unfortunate... and I believe contributes at least an extra 30 minutes to the length of the game, at least in my house.

So, I've made alternate cards for the Public Opinion and Party Policy decks. Ideally, they can be identified immediately from across the table and are colored in red and blue as a courtesy to my red/green colorblind friends. I borrowed the great idea from promuso to mark Public Opinion cards with a picture of a crowd.

I'm planning on printing them through The Game Crafter, so they're sized appropriately. Due to the large amount of 'bleed' space, they should be very easy to resize if you needed to.

I normally polish extensively before uploading; but since I only play this once a year, I couldn't justify spending more than a few hours on it. Therefore, if you see anything I missed or have any suggestions, I'd love to hear it.

Thanks for making these!

I published them, at cost with no profit to me, on The Game Crafter in case anyone wants to print a deck.

I ordered a deck for total cost $17.64 including shipping. A bit pricey, but I think it is worth it.
