How to Create a Digimon Card
The Digimon card game is an extension of the television and video game franchise. Players use cards that represent the creatures of the universe to battle against their opponents for victory. While new cards for the Digimon card game are no longer released in America, that doesn't mean you have to stop playing. Players can create their own cards by following the structure of existing cards, meaning you can create an entire army of new Digimon monsters to control, by either using the franchise or inventing your own.

Find the main image you want to use on the card. You can locate this image on a Digimon fan site, scan your own pictures into your computer or draw them in the drawing program.

Move down to the bottom of the text box and enter a card number and rarity. Use any number you wish for the card number and input a word like “Unique” for rarity since it is a one-of-a-kind card.
