Instruction Shortcut Cards

    I have been making what I call shortcut cards for a while. They help when you have already played a game, but forget some of the rules or details. Once you read the shortcut card, witch states the games outlines, you remember the game and know how to play the game.........with out having to read those long instructions again! It takes a while to make each card, but in the end its worth it. Every game I have that has a shortcut card I put a white piece of paper on the side. The paper says how long the game takes, the age and the amount of players. I have done this to about 100 of my games and have spent alot of time on it. My kids often appreciate it though when they grab a game from the shelf to play with a friend. And they love the fact that they know how long it will take and they DON'T have to read those long instructions!
