FAQ
What do I need to provide before placing an order?
Please share a short summary of your game idea, current rules or notes (if any), target player count, age group, and estimated play time. If you already have a physical or digital prototype, send it over!
Do you provide board game illustrations or visual graphic design?
This gig focuses strictly on game design, mechanics, rules, and component math balancing. I provide text documentation, spreadsheets, and basic functional prototypes, but not final custom artwork.
Can you create a prototype in Tabletop Simulator (TTS)?
Yes! For the Premium package or as a custom add-on, I can upload your components and graphics into Tabletop Simulator so you can test your game digitally.
What genres of board games do you work on?
I work on a wide variety of tabletop games, including card games, worker placement, deck builders, engine builders, push-your-luck, co-op, and social deduction games.
