What's in the deck
Pipsqueaks is a card game for a grown-up and a kid about 4 and up. This page makes the paper version for one kid. Type their name and pick their buddy to preview the personalized cover, binder page and three representative cards before paying. The full printable deck opens after payment.
Inside: 60 cards in four team decks, 3 helper cards, card backs with their name, their binder page, four play mats and bonk tokens. There's a rules page for the grown-up that takes about two minutes to read, and a picture rules page you show your kid.
How a game goes
Each of you takes a team deck, draws three cards and plays a little pipsqueak. On your turn you draw, play a card and bonk the other pipsqueak. Knock it out to win a star. First to three stars wins, and most games take about ten minutes.
Printing it
The full file is 15 Letter-size pages (8.5 × 11 inches), including seven sheets of card fronts and a separate card-back page. The other pages are the cover, two rules pages, binder, two pages of play mats and tokens. Card stock works, as does plain paper in card sleeves. You need a printer and scissors. Choose Actual size and cut on the dotted lines; the cards print at 2.5 × 3.5 inches.
You can leave the card backs blank. To add backs, follow your own printer's reload instructions and test one sheet first. The file does not pair fronts and backs for automatic two-sided printing. The full deck is a one-time $4 payment through Stripe and stays on this device for next time. If it won't print for you, reply to your Stripe receipt and you'll get your $4 back.
