I will develop a commercial board game prototype for kickstarter
Adepoju
About this gig
A board game intended for commercial release needs more than an interesting theme.
It needs engaging decisions, consistent mechanics, replayability, clear rules, and a prototype that can be tested before you invest in production.
I will help develop your board game into a structured, playable prototype designed for further development, publisher pitching, crowdfunding, or a Kickstarter campaign.
Whether you have a rough concept, an unfinished prototype, or an existing game that needs improvement, I can help turn your ideas into a more complete game system.
WHAT I CAN DEVELOP
- Original board game concepts and gameplay systems
- Strategy, adventure, economic, negotiation, cooperative, and competitive games
- Card-driven and resource-management mechanics
- Player actions, turn structure, scoring, and victory conditions
- Player interaction and meaningful strategic decisions
- Prototype board, card, and component layouts
- Printable prototype files for testing and presentation
Artwork-intensive games, large card sets, extensive testing, and manufacturing preparation will require a custom offer.
Let's develop your board game into a playable foundation for its next stage.

A great board game idea can fail when the mechanics feel repetitive, the rules are confusing, or players have no reason to play again.
My services focus on the systems behind a successful game, from the core gameplay loop to player interaction, strategic decisions, progression, and replayability.
Whether you are starting with a new concept or refining an existing prototype, I can help you establish a clear foundation for your game.
Send me your idea, references, target players, and development goals so we can determine the right scope for your project.
FAQ
Can you develop a board game from just an idea?
Yes. I can help structure a concept into a game system. The amount of development depends on the package and the complexity of the idea.
Is this suitable for Kickstarter?
The service can help create a prototype and documentation for testing and campaign development. Kickstarter success is not guaranteed, and campaign assets, manufacturing quotes, and production planning are separate unless explicitly included.
Will I receive a playable prototype?
The Standard and Premium packages include prototype materials within the agreed scope. Confirm the exact components and file format before ordering.
Do you provide illustrations and finished artwork?
Prototype layouts are not the same as finished commercial illustrations. Extensive artwork and final visual production require a separate agreement unless explicitly included.
Can you improve an existing board game?
Yes. I can review the supplied game system, identify structural issues, and propose changes to mechanics, pacing, clarity, and balance.
Can I sell the game commercially after delivery?
Commercial rights and ownership should be clearly stated in the order agreement, including the files and work covered by the transfer. Third-party assets and licensed materials remain subject to their own terms.
