FAQ
What do you need to get started?
I only need your game idea, theme, or rough concept. Whether you have a few notes, a prototype, or a detailed design document, I'll review everything and recommend the best approach for your board game or card game project.
Can you design a game from just an idea?
Yes. Many clients come to me with only a concept. I can help develop the game mechanics, player objectives, turn structure, win conditions, and overall gameplay into a complete, playable design.
Do you design both board games and card games?
Absolutely. I work on board games, card games, tabletop games, party games, strategy games, educational games, family games, and custom tabletop concepts.
Can you improve or balance an existing game?
Yes. If you already have a prototype, I can review your mechanics, identify balance issues, improve player interaction, refine gameplay flow, and suggest meaningful improvements.
Will I receive a rulebook?
Yes. Depending on your package, you'll receive a professionally organized rulebook or gameplay documentation that clearly explains how the game is played.
Do you create cards and board layouts?
Yes. I can design the structure of your cards, board layout, player boards, tokens, and other gameplay components. Visual illustrations can also be discussed if needed.
Is this suitable for Kickstarter or publishing?
Yes. I design games with prototype development in mind, making them suitable for playtesting, pitching, crowdfunding campaigns, or further production.
Do you provide playtesting?
Yes. I can review your game from a designer's perspective, identify gameplay issues, and provide recommendations to improve balance, clarity, pacing, and player experience. Dedicated playtesting services can also be arranged.
What genres do you work with?
I work with strategy, party, family, educational, cooperative, competitive, fantasy, sci-fi, trivia, deck-building, and many other tabletop game genres.
Why should I message you before placing an order?
Every game is unique. A quick discussion allows me to understand your idea, recommend the right package, define the project scope, and ensure we're building the best possible version of your game.
