I will design tabletop game rulebook layouts, card game manuals, play guides tabletop


About this gig
Are you struggling to transform your raw rules into a clear, retail-ready rulebook? Confusing manuals lead to bad playtests, negative reviews, and frustrated players.
I specialize in designing publication-ready rulebooks, game manuals, and player guides for tabletop board games, TCGs, and card games. I turn raw documents into clean, beautifully structured PDFs formatted for physical printing or digital release.
What I Provide:
- Custom Rulebook Layouts: Clear typography, visual hierarchy, and cohesive styles.
- Component & Setup Diagrams: Step-by-step guides for game setup, card anatomy, and turn order flowcharts.
- Print-Ready Files: 300 DPI, CMYK profiles, and precise bleed setups for DriveThruCards, The Game Crafter, or custom factory printers.
Why Work With Me?
- UX & Readability: Rules organized so new players learn mechanics without getting lost in dense text.
- Editable Source Files: Layered Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, or Photoshop source files provided.

FAQ
Do you write or edit the rule text itself
This gig focuses strictly on graphic design, page layout, visual structure, and typography. You supply the written draft, and I format it into a publication-ready manual. I will, however, correct obvious typos and structure headings for clear readability.
Can you create visual setup diagrams and card anatomy charts?
Yes, If you provide photos, vector files, or raw artwork of your game components, I will build visual diagrams demonstrating table setups, card layouts, and turn flowcharts.
What file formats will I receive upon delivery?
You will receive print-ready PDFs (300 DPI, CMYK, with correct bleed lines) for physical printing, optimized lightweight PDFs for web downloads, and layered source files (INDD, AI, or PSD) depending on your package.
What size standards do you use for rulebook pages?
I can design for any custom or standard print format, including standard A4, US Letter, 6" x 9", square booklet formats, or custom tuck-box mini rulebook sizes.
Can you create interactive or clickable digital rulebooks?
Yes, Standard and Premium packages include interactive PDF features, such as clickable Tables of Contents and hyperlinked page references for easy digital navigation on tablets or smartphones.
