Hey guys,

I'd like to get my hands on as many of these cards from the G/H starter decks as I can so it makes it  easier for new players to remember how the field of play is set up and the different things one can do on his turn. I know they're a bit outdated as they don't have territory class but TC can easily be remembered. A lot of newer players I've come across really like the card as it's helped them greatly.

If you guys have any of these cards lying around, and you'd like to donate them to the cause of helping new players please reply on this thread. After about a week I'll send those who reply my mailing address via private message.

Thanks in advance!

That's even better.  Thanks, JD.  If it's something you can edit maybe we can add in territory-class as well, and anything else that might be missing, such as specify the player can remove a character from a fortress (not just add them to a fortress) and healing enhs played during prep phase.

Thanks sir!

Hey this looks great, JD! Definitely more detailed than the original card.

Could we fit in the Discard phase that an artifact can be placed faced down? Also, see if you can add in prep and discard phase that healing enhs can be played. Also, I like how on the original Field of Play illustration how Set-Aside and LoR is showing to be Out of Play. Anyway we can fit that back in? Maybe shrink the card anatomy picture down some to accommodate.

Small typo: at the top change to "Both players draw 8 cards".

Thanks for doing this!

Derek

Good point but since this is geared to new players this is just an intro into the game's basic mechanics. The Reserve is more advanced and can be explained to someone by an experienced player or they can read about it in the REG if they want to delve deeper into the game. The Reserve is really more for tournament than casual play anyways.

Correct but by then they are going to most likely read up on the REG to learn more of the intricacies of game play, and/or have met an experienced player who can explain the Reserve to the player. This card is for entry-level players who need to remember the basic anatomies of play, turns, and territory set up.

Nice catch, Isaac. Thanks

indeed i'll add it in the make it pretty stage

prolly will leave off reserve and deck building rules assuming a new player has a starter deck

Let me know how this looks from a technical side guys! If you're happy with it also let me know what format would be best. Currently it is an image format, but perhaps an editable document could serve you better ?

Do you have a copy of the original one? I don't have one, but I am trying to find it

I'm planning to make it pretty by removing the gray border(way more ink efficient) and adding higher resolution icons along with the evil dom icon

I already know this will serve as a great resource to newer players!! When I first came back to the game it was a big help to have that phase list

It's uploaded here!

This really helped me a ton having an outline of a turn in front of me when I first came back to the game!

Mind if I borrow this for my kids and for the kids at church?  This would be a huge help!

This is for the whole community!! Please make as much use of this as possible to help new players learn Redemption!

Thanks!  This was perfect for our games last night.  My daughter who is 10 loved it.  Now my 8 yr old son said, "ah man, I hate reading." lol  And he also said that because it had Peter on it he didn't like it...   I play with that deck, so he hates it when I draw Peter.  In all seriousness, thanks again this is great!  Looking forward to getting some color copies printed and laminated for the playgroup.

10?!?!?!?!?!?!?!  You oldest is 10?!?!?!?!  I remember when that kid was born, it hasn't been that long has it?

I agree. Definitely deserves a player of the year award if we had one!

Unfortunately he has already been disqualified for that award due to his use of the "Mayhem delenda est" T2 deck... 

Agreed.. I dug myself into that one! XD
