FAQ
Do I need to have my artwork ready before hiring you for board game design?
No, you do not need any final artwork. My focus is entirely on the technical development tabletop game phase and balancing your game mechanic loops. I use clean, text-based templates and geometric layouts so you can easily hand the finished mechanics over to an artist later.
What genres or types of tabletop games do you specialize in?
I develop systems across almost all major tabletop categories. This includes complex strategy board games, deck-builders, card games, custom dice systems, and homebrew tabletop RPGs. If your project has a unique game mechanic you need balanced, I can build it.
Can you fix or balance a game mechanic that is currently broken?
Yes! If you already have a theme and basic rules but find that your game economy is broken, playtesting is dragging, or one strategy is completely overpowered, I can review your system and re-engineer the logic to make it airtight.
What exactly do I get in the final delivery files?
Depending on your chosen package, you will receive a comprehensive Game Design Document (GDD) explaining all rules clearly, balanced data spreadsheets for card math/probabilities, and a print-and-play PDF template so you can physically test your game right away.
Can you write the official rulebook for my game?
Absolutely. A major part of solid board game design is ensuring players can actually understand how to play. I will take your raw notes and turn them into a structured, foolproof rulebook document that is simple, clear, and easy for new players to learn in under five minutes.
