If we are instructed to Banish something, we place it back into the box with the unused pool of cards. If something is "Removed from the Game" do we create a new pile of cards never to be used again?
I'm just wondering how at higher levels, we don't keep seeing the same lower level banes/boons.
"banish" is to put back in the box. "remove from the game" is to put the card somewhere else separate from the box. I think one of the devs said that putting the cards in the character expansion box, or one of the adventure boxes would be best.
Ah, nevermind. Removed from game is forever. Found in a related post regarding what do with banished Basic cards once you start the Hook Mountain adventure.
Can you add a link to the relevant post?

Usually if something is "removed from the game" it's no longer needed. For banes, it's because the difficulty of the game is going up, and you don't need the slow-pitch baddies with an 8 difficuty. Remember as well, for boons you CAN discard them. If you particularly like your thief kits, you CAN opt to keep them in.
Also - you COULD always just "reset" the game. Take all the adventure packs out and put them in their respective boxes and play though the game again from scratch. It's not as if someone is asking you to rip up the cards. I hope you used pencil on your character cards though (I use a sharpie on a sleeve with the player's name on it.)
Or you can use the really, really nice character sheets that Paizo created and not worry about marking up your cards.
You have to know they exist first, then 'buy' them (for free), then find the £$%^ download link on the page without accidentally clicking the (more prominent) RPG character sheet link on the page.
But, yes, once you get them downloaded, they are awesome :)
I think you can get them here. (But that page doesn't have the add to cart button any more for me, I guess because I have already nabbed them?)

Mainly because I don't have the room at my table for everyone to have a huge pile of full-sized papers in front of them during play. The cards are way too convenient, and cheap 10 cent sleeves are a great fix for permanently marking up your cards.
The downloadable character sheets are great, but i've always seen them as a way for people to keep track of what is in their character's deck, and the feats they've gotten, when said decks need to be torn down and put back into the box.... or if more than one person wants to play the same character in multiple sessions (eg someone in my sunday meetup group wants to play the barbarian, but my friend john I play with on fridays also wants to play her).
It might be kinda genius for people to print up tiny versions of the character cards that fit in a sleeve so people can mark them until their heart is content.

You could always print them at 50% then fold them up so the deck and progress stuff is out of the way. That way each 'card' is either 1/6 (basic) or 1/4 quarter (with role) of a sheet of paper/card which is not much bigger than the cards themselves.
I don't have any clear sleeves to hand so printing seemed much easier for me. And I'm almost certainly going to be running multiple campaigns with different groups.
When my family got really into playing Smash Up, I spent like... $20 and got twenty packs of clear sleeves. I don't think I'll EVER run out of them.
I wish we could have someone who's good with graphic design get us one big PDF that's just the "smaller" versions of the character sheets.
