A game piece and method of manufacture includes a generally planar transparent carrier approximately 1 to 4 mm thick. A front view of a detailed character image is printed on the reverse side of the carrier, which is visible through the carrier obverse side. An opaque silhouette of a neutral color is superimposed upon the character image front view and a rear view of the character image is printed superimposed upon the opaque silhouette. The carrier is then cut from a substrate with a perimetric edge outlining the character image. A foot portion is included, projected upon from the lowermost portion of the perimetric edge. A base portion is included, cut from a similar substrate. The base portion includes a slot into which the foot portion of the carrier securably inserts. The result is a lightweight, packable, transportable, and detailed game piece operable in an associated game space.
