TCG Template Bundle - Boneyard (The Game Crafter Edition)

Resurrect your game design with the Boneyard.

Forge your next Trading Card Game (TCG) or Tabletop RPG project with the Boneyard Template Bundle. With a Hand-drawn Aesthetic featuring gritty ink strokes and parchment textures, this kit captures the essence of ancient grimoires, forbidden dungeons, and necromantic magic.

Designed specifically for The Game Crafter: We have done the math for you. These templates are pre-formatted to meet TGC's specific printing requirements, so you can upload your deck without worrying about cut lines or bleed errors. This template is designed to work for poker and euro poker decks

What’s Included in the Kit?

This bundle includes high-quality PNG assets to build a complete card layout (see images for breakdown):

• 1 Main Art Frame: A detailed skeletal border featuring cobwebs and cracked bone textures.
• 1 Artistic Background: A dark, stone dungeon wall texture that sits behind your text boxes for added depth.
• 2 Frame Ornaments: Detailed gargoyle skeletons to add gothic flair to the center bar.
• 4 Modular Text Boxes: Includes a Ribbon, bone dial, Large Body Box, and Small Body Box to fit any text length.
• 1 Custom Card Back: A symmetrical, intricate bone mandala design.

• 4 Thematic Icons: Essential gameplay icons including a Skull, Cemetery Gate, Bone, and Claw.

• 1 Boneyard Example Card PSD

The Game Crafter (TGC) Optimized

Stop guessing if your text will get cut off. This kit is tailored for the TGC Poker Card template:

• TGC Standard Size: Formatted to 2.5" x 3.5" with the correct full-bleed dimensions.
• Safe Zone Compliant: The "Bone Frame" is designed to sit perfectly within the safe zone, ensuring your borders look thick and intentional, not chopped off by the die-cutter.
• High Resolution: All assets are 300 DPI, meeting the strict print quality standards of The Game Crafter.

Key Features

• Hand-Drawn Aesthetic: Created with a distinct "ink and quill" style that fits perfectly with dark fantasy, horror, and medieval themes.
• Fully Layered & Modular: You are not stuck with one layout. Move the text boxes, hide the gargoyles, or swap the icons to create Unit cards, Spell cards, or Trap cards with ease.
• Versatile Design: Perfect for prototyping simple decks or publishing a complete game on the TGC marketplace.

Font Recommendations

To achieve the look seen in the preview images, we recommend using the following free-to-use Google Fonts:

• Card Name (Header): UnifrakturMaguntia (Perfect for that ancient Blackletter feel).
• Card Type: IM Fell English SC (A distressed serif that looks like old print).
• Body Text: Alegreya or Crimson Pro (Clean, legible serifs that match the parchment vibe).

How to Use with The Game Crafter

1. Design: Open your image editor (Photoshop, GIMP, etc.) and arrange the modular Boneyard assets using The Game Crafter's provided template.
2. Export: Save your card face and the included Card Back as PNG or JPG files.
3. Upload: Log into The Game Crafter, select the "Poker Deck" or "Euro Poker Deck" component, and drag your files in. The bleed and borders will align automatically!
