I will design your card game mechanics, rules, and prototype


About this gig
Have a card game idea but need help turning it into something people can test and play? I design custom card games for party play, strategy, education, trading-card concepts, and print-and-play projects.
I can help with the core concept, win condition, turn structure, card effects, deck structure, basic balance, clear rules, and simple card layouts for a playable prototype.
You can bring a rough idea, notes, draft rules, or an existing prototype that needs improvement. Ill confirm the scope and deliverables before work begins, then organize the materials so you can review and playtest them.
Packages differ by card count and depth. Detailed illustrations, physical printing, shipping, and digital app coding are not included unless agreed in a custom offer.
Message me before ordering if you need a larger deck or a more complex game system.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.
