My friends and I play board games all the time, and so for the birthday of one of the guys in the group, I decided I was going to reskin Coup, our favorite game, for him. In Coup, the main deck is made up of five different types of role cards (with an optional sixth added by an expansion) and so I made the artwork for each card represented by one of my friends. 

The above are loyalty cards, which define the swiftly-shifting teams during the game. In the original, they are labelled Loyalist and Reformist, with accompanying faction symbols. For this, I chose simply to depict each team with one of the birthday friend's favorite animals. One is a jumping spider, the other a pug.

In the original, this final card was called the Treasury Reserve, but that kept getting confused with the big pile of coins so I just labelled it the Magic Space Bank. 

I printed them on plastic at Makeplayingcards.com, and am very happy with them. The card quality is good, and the printing looks very neat and accurate.
