Overview

A variant is a unique visual representation of a Component. For example, a playing card Component would typically be a Tile and would have 52 Variants, one of each rank + suit. The Component itself serves as a “template” for all the individual cards (Variants).

Use variants to define what a Component should look like. Variants can be simple definitions of color, or they can display an image from an Asset. Some Components have a single variant (such as a board, for example), whereas others have multiple variants (such as a deck of cards or asymmetric player mats).

Defining a Variant

To define a variant for an existing Component:

  1. If you want to display an image, create an Asset first (see Assets).
  2. In the left pane, select Components, and select the Component.
  3. Select Variants and select Variant 1.
  4. Edit attributes as needed and save.

The attributes vary slightly based on each Component type, but most include a fill color, a stroke color, and the ability to select an image from an Asset. Tiles include another set of attributes for the back of the tile.

Create additional variants for that Component if needed. You can clone an existing variant by selecting the 3 dots to the right of it and selecting Clone. Enter in the number of clones you’d like.
