Glory to Rome Print & Play

A lightly customized Print & Play version of Glory to Rome: Black Box edition. Inspiration and many graphics sourced by the popular PnP thread on BGG by Arachnode.

Printing Instructions

Below is what I used to print this out at printplaygames.com in October 2023.

Cards

Images generated from https://gtr.stormtide.net. Each file contains images for 18 cards, and some files have blank spots since you can only print in multiples of 18.

Included are card sets both with and without the fan-made promo expansion.

  • Printplaygames Item: 2.5" x 3.5" Poker Cards
  • Files:
    • Order Cards: 3x each of the OrderCards_*.png files, with OrderCardBack.png as back
      • 159 Order cards and 3 blank without promo, 195 Order cards and 21 blank with promo
    • Site Cards: 2x each of SiteFront.png, with SiteBack.png as back
      • 72 Site cards
    • Misc Cards: 1x of MiscFront.png, with MiscBack.png as back
      • 3 Leader cards (you only need one, so two extra), 6 Merchant Bonus Cards, 6 Jack Cards, 3 blank
  • Options: Print Double Sided, Gloss (cheapest, you can pay more for nicer cards but I sleeved them anyway)

Player Boards

I got these redesigned player boards from BGG user BlueBirdnorth.

The originals are designed to be printed at 9.16"x5.17" and cut down to 8.25"x4.25". I resized and adjusted the design to be printed out at 9"x5" and cut down to 8"x4.25" to fit my intended box.

  • Printplaygames Item: Any Size Custom Single Piece Board
  • File: Player_board_adjusted_9x5_cut_to_8x4.25.png
  • Options: Small Board (up to 8" x 10.5"), Print One Side, Width: 9, Height: 5
  • Special Instructions: Print is at 9"x5" but please cut down to 8"x4.25" based on corner cut lines

Rulebook

The original rulebook and a split, renumbered version of it were from this BGG file. To fit in the box below, I resized using MacOS Preview and printing to a custom page size of 4.5"x6.94".

(note: my file has some funny black boxes around many of the card images in the rules. The original rules file does not, if you care enough to fix it by starting from scratch)

  • Printplaygames Item: Custom Size Rule Booklet
  • File: Rules_split_resized_4.5x6.94.pdf
  • Options: Small Booklet, 36 Pages, Width: 4.5, Height: 6.94

Box

I measured all the components to fit into the printplaygames 8.6"x5.1" medium box. The unsleeved cards, boards and rules will all just barely fit into the box I used. In hindsight, since I decided to sleeve the cards which significantly increase the space they take up, I would have gone with one of the larger medium boxes like 7.13"x10.12" or 8.04"x8.04". I copied/resized the box graphics from a box file in Arachnode's BGG Thread, labeled Box - Full.png.

  • Printplaygames Item: Medium Box (5.1" x 8.6" x 1.4")
  • Files: Box_5.1x8.6x1.4_Base.png and Box_5.1x8.6x1.4_Lid.png
  • Options: Printed Lid & Printed Bottom, No Insert
