I will design card game mechanics, rulebook, playtest and develop your tabletop deck
Eliz
About this gig
You've got the idea. What's stuck is making it play fair, making the cards work together, and writing rules someone else can follow without you in the room.
That's the part I do. I design the card game mechanics, the turn order, the deck, and the rulebook, then tune it until a first playtest doesn't fall apart.
Send a rough note, a half-built prototype, or a game that already feels off. I'll tell you what's breaking it and rebuild the system so draws, costs, and win conditions hold up. If a card is too strong, if the last round always ends the same way, or if new players get lost on turn one, that's what we fix.
What you get
- Card game design and gameplay systems
- Card abilities and how they interact
- Deck building and progression
- Game balance and playtest notes
- Turn structure and player flow
- A clear rulebook you can hand to players
- A framework ready to prototype
This fits
- Strategy and tabletop card games
- Party and social games
- Teaching and classroom decks
- TCG and collectible card concepts
- Indie projects and first prototypes
- Kickstarter and pitch drafts
Message me with what you have so far. I'll tell you if I can take it and what I'll change first.

I'm Eliz. I design tabletop games: board games, card games, and TCG / CCG decks. I work with people who have an idea but don't yet have something they can play.
Most of what I do is the unglamorous part: the turn order, the card text, the rulebook, the balance. If a card always wins, if new players get lost, or if the last round feels the same every time, that's what we fix.
I also help get a prototype in shape for a playtest, a publisher, or a Kickstarter page. Send me what you have, even if it's only notes.
FAQ
What information do you need to start my card game project?
Please provide your game idea, theme, target audience, preferred game style, and any existing notes, concepts, or inspirations you have. The more details you share, the better I can tailor the design to your vision.
Can you create a card game from just a basic idea?
Yes. Even if you only have a rough concept, I can develop the gameplay mechanics, card systems, rules, and overall game structure
Do you design card abilities and game mechanics?
Absolutely. I create custom card abilities, player interactions, progression systems, win conditions, and gameplay mechanics that fit your game's theme and objectives.
Will my game be balanced and playable?
I focus on creating balanced and engaging gameplay systems. While extensive playtesting may be required for final balancing, the game framework will be designed with balance and playability in mind.
