FAQ
Will my game prototype be ready for printing or digital playtesting?
Yes! I deliver print-ready files (PDF, PNG, JPEG with bleeds) formatted for commercial print shops or home Print-and-Play (PnP). I can also prepare files for digital playtesting on platforms like Tabletop Simulator or Tabletopia for your tabletop game.
Can you design the game mechanics and balance the gameplay for me?
Absolutely. I specialize in developing balanced game mechanics, victory conditions, card synergies, and player interactions. Whether you need a strategic tabletop game, a fast-paced party card game, or a complex trading card game (TCG), I ensure replayable, balanced gameplay.
Do you write and format the complete rulebook design?
Yes, complete rulebook design and instruction manual formatting are included. I convert raw rules into clear, structured, step-by-step guides with visual setup diagrams, component lists, and example turns so playtesters can learn your custom board game effortlessly.
Can you design custom card frames, card templates, and card game art?
Yes! I create custom card frame design, icon sets, and card templates tailored to your theme. From fantasy tcg cards and tarot cards to minimal playing cards or custom board game cards, I ensure your assets look professional and cohesive.
Do you design box packaging, tuck boxes, and game boards?
Yes, I provide full box design, tuck box templates, and game board layout graphics. I ensure all game assets fit standard printer specs so your physical board game prototype looks ready for retail or crowdfunding.
Can I use this board game design for a Kickstarter campaign or publisher pitch?
Yes. All components—including card game art, rulebook design, box packaging design, and rule summaries—are created at industry standards to help you present a polished project to publishers or launch a successful Kickstarter campaign.
Do you offer services for complex games like TCGs, party games, or drinking card games?
Yes, I work across all genres: strategy board games, party card games, drinking card games, family games, and collectible trading card games (TCG). Each project gets custom mechanics and tailored graphic design.
Will I own full commercial rights to the game design and artwork?
Yes. Once the project is delivered and completed, you own 100% of the commercial rights to all delivered game assets, card designs, rulebook layouts, and source files.
What do I need to provide to start my board game design or card game prototype?
To begin your board game design or card game design, simply provide your core game concept, draft rules, or reference games you like. If you only have a rough idea, I can help build your game mechanics, theme, and rulebook design from scratch.
