Seems like a most excellent way to take care of unwanted Magic Cards. Perhaps you could do something like that with all those unwanted Monopoly variant boards.

cool! How did you do this?

btw. unwanted magic cards are excellent to create print-n-play cardgames. Sleeves + printed cards on normal paper + magic card.

Thanks! I made these by cutting small slits into several magic cards (60, in this image) and then sliding them together. There's no glue or anything to hold them together, it's just interlocking cards, and yet they're surprisingly durable.

Here's a guide to constructing these forms using playing cards. Also, there are guides for many other shapes as well.

Thanks for the link! Those look quite similar to mine (the thing that suprised me most when making these, is how few possible polyhedra there are, if you want all faces to be the same). My 60-card construction has more overlap at the three-point connections. Compared to the template provided at that website, the slits in the cards I used are about half an inch higher, so that the bottom one starts at the lower right corner. I'll draw up some diagrams and templates later.

Jack, if you are able to post the template, that'd would be much appreciated. I definitely prefer the tighter shape of your polyhedron to the one in the link posted. The wide overlap on the three-point is particularly nice looking.

I'll have to re-draw the templates on the computer; hopefully I'll have time for that tomorrow. I think I'm going to do a geeklist on how to make these yourself. Stay tuned!
