    No it's not, altho if that's what you're looking for I'll gladly recommend CardMaker over on github. It has the graphical interface you're likely looking for
  • easy way to generate some basic but uniform prototype cards?
    1 project | /r/BoardgameDesign | 14 Feb 2023
    In addition to nandeck, a quick google search also turned up component.studio and cardmaker.
  • Is there a tool for designing a Card Game?
    1 project | /r/gamedesign | 24 Jan 2023
    Digital origin physical? For creating large sets of printable cards I'd recommend nandeck and Cardmaker. I've only used the former, but Cardmaker also looks really good.
  • Carcassonne Guest Book and Board Game Table Names at Wedding
    1 project | /r/boardgames | 13 Oct 2022
    We also named our tables after some of our favorite board games (which also didn’t have too weird or awkward names). And for fun, we put most of the vegetarians at the Point Salad table 😁. It was great to hear that a few people actually bought the game of their table! I designed the signs for each table using CardMaker and images from BGG.
  • A (free) tabletop conscripting game
    1 project | /r/conlangs | 26 Jun 2022
    This was made using CardMaker, so you'll need to setup that software to make modifications: https://github.com/nhmkdev/cardmaker
  • Tabletop game design workflow
    1 project | /r/tabletopgamedesign | 4 May 2022
    Prototype - Now I'll figure out how to get that new content into paper form. At this point I'm usually using a combination of Cardmaker (some people prefer Nandeck or Indesign... or others) and google drawings (which handles basic boards/player sheets pretty well). Cardmaker is a topic unto itself, but you can make some serviceable prototype cards on it relatively quickly. My goal here is to spend the least amount of time making a prototype, while it still being a reasonable facsimile of what the game is trying to be. Keep in mind playtesting will often reveal flaws or improvements which make the previous version obsolete. Only put in as much time/effort into the prototype as you are comfortable throwing into the trash afterwards. As your game develops, some systems may stabilize (and not require revisions), at that point you can put a little more effort into making it nice.
  • Anyone know a software to design cards?
    1 project | /r/BoardgameDesign | 8 Jan 2022
    I can't recommend Card Maker enough. I love this little program to pieces. You feed it a css file (which Excel can export as) and then it uses that data to populate a template you design. You can make really rudimentary cards really easily, and as your needs grow you can learn how to do stuff over time in the program.
  • Layout cards for printing?
    2 projects | /r/tabletopgamedesign | 7 Jan 2022
    CardMaker (https://github.com/nhmkdev/cardmaker) as usual does all the things NanDeck does but with a usable UI.
  • Golarion Card Games
    1 project | /r/Pathfinder2e | 4 Jan 2022
    If you learn how to use CardMaker, even generating the final card image for use in Foundry will be a cinch!
  • Looking for graphic designer for CharacterYAQ.com game for 108 regular sized playing cards
    1 project | /r/TheGameCrafter | 3 Nov 2021
    Are there any graphic designers out there who have used the free open source CardMaker software from https://github.com/nhmkdev/cardmaker
