UPDATE 2:  I've included two new models for those looking to print the parts individually (and then use a drop of glue to hold together).  The files are: Individual-Arrow_Only & Individual-Case_Only (which actually has the arrow hole sized increased +.5mm to help ensure the arrow fits and sits flat).  While it might seem that the Case_Only one might need supports (to fill in the missing arrow area) - I was successful in printing without supports (looked a bit ugly in that area but doesn't matter as it gets covered with the arrow anyways).  YMMV
----------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE:  from some suggestions - I've uploaded V2 of the design to be printed without supports and with the arrow ‘in-line’ (and flipped over to retain card edges - this way without needing to print supports).  I hope you enjoy!  (note:  you'll need to choose how you multi-color print; the two designs/models are combined into a single .3mf file.  Also note, that I like to include the print as ‘textured' so it has ‘Hilbert Curve’ set as bottom layer and Z-hop/Lift Z to be 7mm (to ‘jump’ over the arrow once printed).  Change these settings to match what your rig/setup can print.  Hope you enjoy!

I noticed that when I was playing the SCOUT card game with four players - it was a bit confusing as to what cards (sets/tricks) were played (especially after someone has ‘Scouted’ from it and they weren't splined correctly anymore).  Also, with a 3-4 player game; it wasn't clear as to who actually placed a set after a couple of plays (detailing who are you are pay the ‘Scout’ point to).  Hopefully, this piece will help with both of those issues!

You'll need to print with supports - I found the ‘GRID’ type to be the most effective (but leaves artifacts - which actually help ‘grip’ the back in play) but the other's not so much YMMV.  Also, with the dual colors; I just included a stop at the right height for a color change of filament (these are the parameter setups for the G-Code file - 0.15mm with PLA).  

I've included the STL so that you can print/arrange with your own setup/gear maybe more effectively.  Game On!
