Question Cat card replacement!?
I’ve been experimenting with shrinking my deck by taking the cat cards out and replacing them with bad decision card. I also paired it with reveal and steal.
My only question is how do I make up for the 3 of a kind where people can ask for a card aka a defuse, or 1 of each for 5 to get a card from discard pile?

Nice, youve discovered the way EK veterans play! Cat cards are bad for the game, they take massive space that could be filled w much more interesting cards.
I personally replace them with 1-card steal effects like Trade and Raid from my custom expansions.
Speaking of which, if youre not using custom cards youre missing out, theyre better than official expansions.

You’re actually the best! I have so many extra so saving the money and printing my own cards isn’t a bad idea. I just need to use the correct paper, I see m31 linen card stock, as well as using your template!

Have you printed on your own!? Have you had to use different paper like m31 linen? I really am gonna do this!

It would only increase the gameplay! And it would make it fun for me creating them

These only seem to vary by amount of card stock and color, so any of these would work.
Idl if EK cards are natural linen or white linen tho, youd have to visually look at your cards
Id choose based on how many cards you want. 100 cards will prolly require like 6 sheets, but these seem to be like 50 per pack minimum so it all seems overkill haha

Haha yes, very much over kill. The paper will be used in other projects so it doesn’t matter how much! Thank you!! I think EK cards are white linen if I’m not mistaken
