1
Design card templates
Create front and back layouts with text, images, and icons — then link fields to your data columns.
Build card decks, export PDFs, and playtest in a 3D simulator — all in your browser.
A browser-based card deck builder for boardgame designers. Design reusable templates, manage card data in a spreadsheet, and export print-ready PDFs. Then jump into the 3D boardgame simulator and playtest with friends in real-time multiplay.
How it works
2
Build your card deck
Fill in a spreadsheet-style dataset and watch every card update in real time.
3
Export or playtest
Export print-ready PDF sheets, or jump straight into the 3D simulator to playtest your deck on a virtual table.
Advanced text formatting
Deckvio is built first for boardgame card deck production. When a prototype needs higher-complexity text handling, the Template Editor can also manage inline icons, selective phrase styling, and other TCG-style formatting without splitting content into separate text boxes.
Inline symbols and token icons
Map token keys to inline icons inside one text field when a prototype needs symbol-heavy card text.
Complex rules text styling
Apply inline font, size, and color keys only where advanced card text needs extra emphasis inside a single text block.
Reusable formatting definitions
Save token, font, color, and size definitions with each template so advanced text formatting stays consistent across a full deck.
Built for deck creation, simulation, and playtest
Start with card deck creation, then continue into 3D boardgame simulation, browser-based multiplay, and practical playtest prep without switching tools.
- Design reusable card decks, then keep expansions and revisions aligned without rebuilding layouts.
- Move from card creation into a 3D boardgame simulation to test pieces, decks, and table flow in context.
- Run real-time multiplay sessions in the browser so remote collaborators can review and iterate together.
- Take prototypes into playtests faster by managing card data, simulator setup, and PDF export in one workflow.
