In both cases the person with the most sets wins.
It is entirely up to you how you prepare these cards, But we recommend that you print them out, in colour onto paper or card cut around the top and bottom card (on the top and bottom left). We then fold the middle section and glue the pieces together and laminate the card to ensure itās durability. Alternatively, you can just use the front of the card for ease of use.
