Is it possible to convince ChatGPT to make all cards the same size?

Are the PDF of the cards available?

@gus_massa, Yes, ChatGPT does a good job of creating grids of same size. If you scroll to the end of the blog I have shared three versions of the game. You can use them and I also have shared the prompt to generate it.

Looking again at the images:

In the "ice cream" example, the cones are taller than the others, but in the images you cut the tip to play.

In the "house" example, the labels are outside the cards, so it would be difficult to cut.

The "unicorn" example is perfect.

So my guess is that in the different examples you improved the prompt.

I really like that your examples have no numbers, so each family can use their preference. I imagine it would be very hard to convince my daughter that it's better to keep the "5-chocolate" and drop the "1-mint-with-chocolate-chips". (She would understand the problem and ragequit.)

@gus_massa, True, I improved prompt (by asking ChatGPT to rewrite the prompt) and even models have improved in last 2-3 weeks. Unicorn was created recently with ChatGPT 5.2 while others are from older version.

Incase you are interested, this is the prompt for Unicorn. You can modify it for others.

Create a printable children’s game sheet with a 3 rows × 5 columns grid of equal-sized square tiles, arranged neatly with clear spacing.

Background: pure white, clean, uncluttered, printer-friendly.

Art style: soft watercolor pastel, cute, kid-friendly, gentle colors, soft hand-drawn outlines, minimal detail, calm and cheerful.

Row 1 – Unicorn Horns only: Spiral horn, Crystal horn, Golden horn, Rainbow horn, Star horn

Row 2 – Unicorn Bodies only: White unicorn body, Pink unicorn body, Blue unicorn body, Purple unicorn body, Golden unicorn body

Row 3 – Unicorn Tails only: Rainbow tail, Cloud tail, Fire tail, Starry tail, Flower tail

Each tile must contain only the specified part (no full unicorns).

Add a small, clear caption underneath each tile describing the item.

Ensure all tiles are perfect squares, aligned evenly, easy to cut, with no overlapping elements, no background scenes, and no extra decorations.
