very nice.
The cards were printed in my local printing house, it was laser printing. Unfortunately, it was very expressive and accurate only for a few months. Then something changed and everywhere there were bigger grooves in the paper, there were unprinted places. The printing house said it was the fault of the paper, but I kept buying the same paper in the same place. So I had to change the way of printing. Currently, I print on an inkjet printer at home.
wow, just wow. That’s a really beautiful game. A work of love for the game.
