01 Making a first-draft prototype with Dextrous

This is the first in a 3-part series on prototyping with Dextrous. In this first stage, you'll learn how to make a quick and dirty prototype in Dextrous that you can print and play at home. The goal here isn't to make a whole deck of cards or a giant board or a detailed event deck just yet, just to make the smallest amount possible to test the core idea. For example 5-10 cards to test out a sample turn. Rapid prototyping in this way is a key skill if you want to save time in testing if a game idea is worth pursuing further.
