For Game Designers
Hex maps, dimetric grids and isometric sheets for board and video games.
Who this collection is for
Game designers depend on lattice-based templates more than any other discipline. The hexagonal, isometric, and dimetric grids on this page are sized for both physical board-game prototypes and digital-tile mock-ups - including the classic 2:1 video-game projection that dominated 1990s strategy games. Recommended reading: A reading list of essential references can complement these grids.
Why curated grids matter
Every discipline reaches for a slightly different palette of printable paper. The wrong grid can quietly distort a sketch - too dense for the brief, too sparse for the detail, calibrated to a scale you don't actually use. This page gathers the 6 grids most-used by working for game designers practitioners, with the standards and history behind each one. Read first: How to print at exactly 1:1 before printing anything that needs to be measured.
