I’m making a little Raspberry Pi printer box for paper Momir Basic!

I’ve been messing around with Kamir, my fork version of a Raspberry Pi + thermal printer setup for playing paper Momir Basic.

The basic idea is simple: you pick a mana value, it grabs a random creature with that mana value, and the printer spits out a little paper token for it.

Right now I’m mostly cleaning up the code, improving the card pool/filtering stuff, and getting the printer flow working nicely.

Next I want to make a small case for it so it’s not just a cursed pile of wires on the table, and so I can actually bring it to my friend's house without looking like I’m assembling a bomb.

For people who’ve played Momir or paper Momir variants:

  • are there any other card types you’d exclude by default? - At the moment, I’m filtering out digital-only cards and Un-set cards by default.
  • any weird rules edge cases I should think about?
  • what would make this thing actually convenient to use at a table?

Mostly just a hobby project. I wanted paper Momir to feel quick, dumb, and fun instead of constantly looking things up on a phone.
