I will develop your board game with mechanics, rulebook and prototype
Sophie board
About this gig
Have an idea for a board game but need help turning it into something that actually works? I specialize in board game development building solid game mechanics, writing clear rulebooks, and creating playable prototypes that are ready for real testing.
What I offer:
- Game mechanics design and balancing
- Rulebook writing and structuring
- Prototype development for playtesting
- Feedback and iteration on existing concepts
- Tabletop and card game development
- Help refining rough ideas into a working game structure
Before any game gets art, packaging, or heads to production, it needs to actually be fun and balanced to play that's where I come in. I dig into the mechanics first, testing how rules interact, spotting issues early, and refining things until the game flows well. I work closely with you through the process, incorporating your feedback and adjusting mechanics as needed rather than just handing over a first draft.
Whether you're working on a strategy game, party game, or card game, I can help take your concept from a rough idea to something genuinely playable.
Message me with your idea, and I'll let you know the best approach for your project.

I design board and card games from the ground up: rules, mechanics, and custom artwork included. Whether you have a rough idea or a finished concept, I can help balance gameplay, write a clear rulebook, and create card designs, box art, or character illustrations to match your theme. I love collaborating closely with clients to bring tabletop ideas to life, from casual party games to strategy-focused designs ready for print or crowdfunding. Let's build something players will love.
FAQ
What does board game development actually include?
Board game development covers building the core game mechanics, writing a clear rulebook, and creating a playable prototype, everything needed to turn your board game idea into something people can actually play and test.
Do I need a full game idea before contacting you?
No. You can bring a rough concept, a theme, or even just a genre you're interested in (strategy, party, card game, etc.) and I'll help develop the game mechanics and rules from there.
Can you fix a board game that isn't working well?
Yes. If you already have a game with mechanics that feel unbalanced or rules that aren't clicking, I can review it and refine the game mechanics and rulebook.
What's included in the prototype?
The prototype is a digital, print-and-play layout of your board game or card game, enough to run real playtests, without final artwork or production-ready files.
Do you also design the artwork for my board game?
This gig focuses on board game development: mechanics, rulebook, and prototyping. Artwork can be discussed separately depending on your project's needs.
Can you develop card games as well as board games?
Yes, I work on both tabletop board game development and card game development, including mechanics and rulebook writing for either format.
