I will design board game mechanics, card game rules and rulebook layout


Level 1
About this gig
Have a game idea that isn't fun to play yet, or rules that don't quite hold together? I'll turn it into a clear, balanced game people can actually play.
I design board game mechanics and card game systems for indie creators, Kickstarter campaigns and publishers, then lay out the rulebook so players can follow it. Most sellers give you either the rules or the look. You get both from one person.
WHAT YOU GET
- Board game mechanics and card game systems: turn structure, win conditions, game flow
- Card abilities and effects, balanced so no single card breaks the game
- TCG, CCG, party game, deck-builder and board game development
- Player aid cards and quick-reference sheets
- Full rulebook layout and graphic design
- Print-ready and digital PDF files
BEST FOR
Indie designers, Kickstarter creators, publishers, and anyone with a rough idea, notes or a prototype.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Send me your idea (a few sentences is enough)
2. I ask questions and deliver a first mechanics draft
3. We refine it together
4. You receive the final rules, rulebook and files
