3. Financiers — Banker or Executive
4. Intelligence — Ranger or Spymaster
5. Mystics — Alchemist or Spirit Walker
6. Inquisition — Grand Inquisitor or Witch Hunter

Printing

Printable card sheets use standard 2.5 × 3.5 inch poker-card fronts in 3 × 3 US Letter layouts. Print at Actual Size / 100% with scaling disabled. Sleeve cut fronts in opaque poker-size sleeves with ordinary playing cards or bulk trading cards behind them.

Territory cards use the same physical card size and are oriented so that their facing indicates control.

Source hierarchy

1. Gauntlet_v0.6.0_Rulebook.md governs shared rules.
2. Definitive faction guides govern faction-specific rules and exact faction-card text.
3. The Neutral and Territory pool documents govern their exact player-facing text.
4. Generated canonical data mirrors those sources and must not be edited independently.
