About this gig
Is your board game concept amazing, but your rulebook confusing or messy?
A poorly structured rulebook can ruin a great tabletop game and cause negative playtest reviews.
I provide professional, human-centric rulebook layout design and structural rule editing. I reject automated templates to ensure your rulebook has an intuitive visual hierarchy, clear terminology, and an elegant presentation that matches your games unique theme.
Services Offered in This Gig:
- Technical Rule Editing: Streamlining complex mechanics into clear, easy-to-learn text instructions.
- Custom Rulebook Layout Design: Arranging text, component diagrams, and game setups beautifully.
- Visual Hierarchy Setup: Using clean typography so players can quickly reference rules mid-game.
- Component Quick-Reference Guides: Crafting intuitive "How to Play" summaries.
- Print Ready Design Files: Delivery in exact high-res CMYK layouts for your manufacturer.
Let's make your game easy to learn and beautiful to read. Message me today!

Let's translate your vision into an engaging tabletop reality. Message me to begin!

FAQ
Can you work on rulebooks for both card games and complex board games?
Yes. Whether it is a quick double-sided folding rule sheet for a minimalist card game or a multi-page, heavy-strategy rule booklet with component keys, I scale the visual layout to match your design.
Do you design the quick-reference player sheets?
Yes. Clear player aids are vital for heavy tabletop games. I can design standalone quick-reference sheets or card structures to help players track turn phases smoothly.
How do you handle game component diagrams within the rulebook layout?
If you supply the image assets of your cards, board, or tokens, I will map them directly into a beautiful "Component Setup" diagram with clean labels and clear pointer indicators.
Can you match the typography style to my existing game design theme?
Absolutely. Font choices dictate the soul of a tabletop game. I hand-select typography configurations that match your setting—whether it is a sleek sci-fi theme, a classic fantasy aesthetic, or a modern minimalist layout.
