FAQ
Can you design a complete board game from my idea?
Yes! I turn rough board game ideas into complete, playable designs, including mechanics, turn structure, rules, and a component list. Send me your concept and I’ll recommend the best package.
Do you design card games and trading card games (TCG) too?
Absolutely. I design card game mechanics, deck structures, and TCG balancing. Tell me your theme, number of players, and card count, and I’ll build a system that’s fun and fair.
Will you keep my game idea confidential?
Yes. Your idea stays 100% yours. I’m happy to sign an NDA before you share details, and you own the full design after delivery.
Can you fix my existing board game prototype or rules?
Yes. Send me your current rules or prototype and I’ll review them, fix confusing mechanics, and balance the gameplay. For rules-only fixes, my Board Game Mechanics gig is a great fit.
Do you create artwork, illustrations, or box design?
My focus is game design: mechanics, rules, balancing, and prototype-ready layouts. Custom illustration, printing, and shipping are not included, but I can design your game so it’s ready for an artist.
Is my game design ready for Kickstarter or a publisher?
My Premium package includes final rules, card text, and a prototype-ready layout, which is the foundation for a crowdfunding or publisher pitch. I’ll also advise on what to improve before you launch.
How long does it take, and what do you need from me?
Delivery is 3 to 14 days depending on the package. I need your theme, number of players, target age, and any existing notes. Please share these when you order so I can start right away.
What counts as a revision, and can I request changes?
A revision is a change to what I delivered, such as adjusting a rule or rebalancing a card. Each package includes 1 to 3 revisions. Brand-new directions for the whole game would need a custom offer.
