This expansion comes with options for printing at home or sending to a print shop.

 

PRINTING AT HOME

The print-at-home versions are PDF sheets of multiple cards.  Both US letter and A4 sizes are provided.  A PDF sheet of card backs is also provided. All card sheets have crop (cutting) marks.  Official Zombicide cards have 3mm radius corners; difficult to cut by hand. If you have access to a corner-cutter tool it will make your job easier.

 

PRINTING THE SPAWN TOKENS

The easiest way to print the included purple spawn tokens is to print out the PDF on quality paper, trim them at the crop marks, and glue them to some cardboard about the same thickness as the official spawn tokens. If you want double sided tokens, remember to print the sheet twice (once for each side).

 

USING A PRINTING SERVICE

If you can find a printshop that offers Zombicide-sized cards, you can use the printshop versions of the cards, which are saved in a separate folder as JPGs. Most print shops in the US seem to only provide “US mini” sized cards, which are extremely close to the official Zombicide cards; so the cards provided in this set are prepared for that format.  However they will also work fine printed in the official format. The printer will typically request cards in JPG or PNG format, asking you to submit both card front and card back images. Cost depends on the printer/region of course.  Typical costs are around $10 US for a 54 card deck.

 

OFFICIAL CARDS (for reference)

• Size: 41.2 x 64mm (1.62 x 2.51 in)

• Corner Radius: 3mm

• Cardstock: 250-300gsm

• Finish: MPC (matt)

 

TIP:

• SLEEVE your printed cards! If not you will probably be able to distinguish the slight differences in a mixed deck.

 

SLEEVES THAT WORK WELL:

• Mayday Games Mini USA Card Sleeves (41x63mm): https://www.maydaygames.com/products/mini-usa-card-sleeves

 

NOTE: If you want to get custom material professionally printed but live in circumstances or regions that make that difficult, you can sometimes find fan communities offering group orders that you can take part in.

PLEASE DO NOT SELL ANY OF THE MATERIAL IN THIS EXPANSION!

People trying to make a profit off of other peoples’ work smothers the custom content community and causes creators to remove their creations and stop making more, not to mention forces game companies to crack down on fan made creations like this one.

Otherwise redistribution is fine, but please try to ensure all the material in this expansion is included. Modification for personal use is also fine.  Please don’t re-release modified versions of this material without including a list of changes as well as credit to everyone whose work you used, and include a readme like this one.

 

If you want to support custom content creators, the best way is to just be part of the community.  Multiple forums and platforms for sharing Zombicide content exist, such as Discord, Board Game Geek, Eren Histarion forums (French), Facebook groups, and others.
