Cards GSM?

G'day All,

I was just wondering if any one knows the gsm of the card's for the game? I'm wishing to print my cards but not sure how think the cards are? I was looking at paper today, and I'm thinking around 120-130gsm (A4)?

I was looking for paper too and I am not sure what to go for yet, but I have 160g and that seems just a bit too low, so I gues to get it right, you should get it about 180g.

I also hope someone can clarifie this.

I've used 240g (photo paper) and the result is pretty good.

Photo paper is best, though not photo "stock" as its referred to over in the states. Photopaper with fronts and backs printed separately and slipped back to back into a sleeve has been the best thickness / stiffness I've found for home print. Actually easier to shuffle than the commercial cards. The approach also allows for printing extra card backs to slip in behind card fronts. Makes it harder to distinguish cards from different expansions when stacked in a deck.
