Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are duplicate "cards" considered one or multiple cards?
A: Every "card" added to your game is considered a unique entity towards your 48 card limit. That means if you want 5x of a specific card, then that would be five cards towards your total of 48.
Q: What counts as a "card"?
A: A "card" is any component created in Tabletop Creator. While most people will want to utilize playing, tarot or more standard card sizes, technically boards and other components may be created (who said a card can't be round? I sure didn't!). With that in mind, projects should remain accessible. If you can't print it using a consumer printer, it's not really within the spirit of the jam and we ask you refrain from creating elements of those sizes.
Q: Is my rulebook considered a component?
A: Yes! Please creatively utilize your rulebook. We don't want to see 2,000 page+ rulebooks, but if you want to include a map or some other visual element within, go for it.
Q: Is AI art allowed?
A: This isn't explicitly banned but it's not encouraged. The rules clearly state that you should own the rights to whatever content is included in your project, so AI art based on creative commons content is technically OK. However, recognize that there is a community vote as part of the jam and many will judge AI-based projects harshly.
Submission Information
Recently it was asked if games should be submitted in English or not. Yes, please include an English submission for your project. However, you are welcome to include other languages in addition if you'd like. Otherwise, here are the other submission details:
When submitting your game, please include the following:
* A PDF copy of your cards using the export function in Tabletop Creator for physical printing
* A copy of your cards for Tabletop Simulator using the export function in Tabletop Creator
* Rulebook in either PDF, Word or Google Doc format (remember to credit anything you might need to, including yourself somewhere in this document)
All games must remain free or PWYW until the end of official judging and the winners are announced in November. This is to ensure that everyone is able to play and vote on the games accordingly. After November, you are welcome to switch your game to a paid product or do whatever else you'd like with it.
Reminder: For teams, whoever submits the project is the one we'll contact for prizes if applicable.
