Standard printer paper works for single-use games. For reusable cards, use 65 lb to 110 lb cardstock. Colored paper makes it easy to separate rounds or teams.

Cards per page

One card per page gives the largest squares, which is best for seniors and young kids. Two per page is the sweet spot for most games. Four per page saves paper and fits pocket-size play.
