I will design custom board game card game board game design tabletop tcg board game art


About this gig
I design custom card games and TCGs from the ground up balanced mechanics, clear rules, and structured card layouts, built for tabletop and Kickstarter projects.
Whether you're building an original card game, expanding a trading card game, or need help rebalancing an existing deck-building system, I create mechanics that are genuinely fun to play and easy for new players to learn.
What I deliver:
Full game mechanics document turn structure, win conditions, resource systems
Balanced card stats and ability design across your full card set
Structured card layout templates (text and stat placement art/illustration not included, but easy to combine with an illustrator)
Rulebook outline and rules writing
Playtesting feedback with iteration notes on any balance issues found
Great for: original TCGs, Commander/EDH style decks, custom board game card sets, Kickstarter card game prototypes, party and family card games.
Send me your game concept or theme, and I'll turn it into a playable, balanced system ready for playtesting, pitching, or production.

FAQ
Do you design the artwork/illustrations too?
I focus on game mechanics and card templates, not custom illustration. If you need art too, I can point you to how to combine this with an illustrator, or use placeholder art in your templates.
What if I don't have a full game idea yet, just a theme?
That's fine send me your theme or concept and I'll help build the mechanics around it.
Can you balance an existing card game I've already made?
Yes, send me your current rules/cards and I'll review and rebalance where needed.
What file formats will I get?
PDF for the mechanics doc and rulebook, plus PSD/AI/PNG for card templates depending on your package.
How many revisions do I get?
Basic gets 1, Standard gets 2, Premium gets 3. If we need more, we can discuss add-ons.
How long does delivery take?
3-7 days depending on the package see delivery time on each tier.
Can you help with Kickstarter card games specifically?
Yes, the Premium package is built for that full mechanics, cards, and rulebook outline ready for production.
What do you need from me to get started?
A short brief your game's theme, target audience, and any mechanics you already have in mind. The more detail, the better the first draft.
