Reference Sheets - You'll need 2 sheets of heavy card stock in 5 different colors (yellow, orange, light red, light green and light blue are recommended). Print the Reference Sheets 5 times, one for each color. Pages 1 & 2 are printed on 2 halves of the same sheet, so that when it is folded in the middle, it forms a privacy screen as shown in the picture above (print page 1, then rotate the sheet 180 degrees and feed it through the printer so that it prints page 2 on the other half of the page, facing backwards).
The "cubes" on page 3 are an inexpensive alternative to the 3/8" wood cubes that the game was designed to use. If you want the real thing, purchase a 100 unit bag and paint the cubes to match the colors of the Player Reference sheets.
Statesmen & Treaties - Print on white card stock.
