FAQ
Do I need to have my complete gameplay rules finalized before ordering?
Not necessarily for the Standard or Premium packages. If you have a rough draft or a core concept, I can help refine, structure, and balance your game mechanics and rulebook layout. For the Basic package, however, you must provide your finalized text and asset concepts upfront.
: Are the final design assets delivered ready for commercial manufacturing?
Yes. All final layout deliverables—including custom card templates, rulebooks, and box designs—are delivered as high-resolution, print-ready files (CMYK color profile with standard bleeding margins). Source vector files (AI/PSD) are included in the Standard and Premium packages.
How do you handle game testing to ensure the mechanics are balanced?
For packages that include gameplay development, we run the rules through an internal digital prototyping process. This allows us to stress-test the core turn loops, resolve text ambiguities, and ensure your game mechanics are smooth and fun before finalizing the rulebook layout.
Can we split a large board game project into smaller paid phases?
Absolutely. For comprehensive board game designs with large component counts, I highly recommend messaging me first. We can use Fiverr’s structured milestone feature to split the project into smaller, separately managed delivery phases to ensure perfect alignment.
