Gary,
I know nothing about the game, but is all of that Textual information on the
Play Cards actually required to play the game? If is not actually necessary to
read that to play the game, you can probably reduce the size of everything 4
fold, which will give you a 16 times reduction in memory requirements for the
images.
Cheers,
Brent.
