How to Create Your Own Card Game?

Whether one plays the western card game of poker, the eastern card game of hanafuda, or the universal card game of Yu-Gi-Oh, card games have long been a popular source of amusement. Card games are played by millions of people every day and have permeated our media and society. However, how are these games created? Do you begin with a concept, much as how Hanafuda was created, taking into account the artwork of flowers and the seasons? Or do you begin with a system like Yu-gi-oh, which has a zoned playing surface and several decks? Let’s go through the card game construction process and come up with a solution together.

Researching Your Card Game

Researching current card games before creating your own will provide you significant insight into how and what to develop, enabling you to adapt to the preferences and interests of players.

The best approach would be to play a variety of tabletop card games like Terraform Mars and Love Letters, digital collectable card games like Riot Games’ Legends of Runeterra, and trading card games like Magic The Gathering, one of the oldest trading card games with one of the largest player bases. Understand how these card games differed from one another and discover what you like about each. In this stage, consider the many issues that players have had with the most recent editions of various card games, as well as how certain games have changed through time. With this approach, you may learn what games people really like to play.

Reading game design books and blogs can be helpful. These books and publications often provide tried-and-true game design techniques. These sources will always have some nuggets of knowledge for you, whether it’s from the bottom-up card creation approach followed by the Magic the Gathering design team, which places balance/mechanics first and flavor second. The actual desires of the card gaming community are not the emphasis of this procedure, but rather the developer’s perspective and what they have at the end.

Watching interviews with and presentations by game designers is another approach to get through this phase. This strategy involves viewing online series which follow a game developer while they create a game. This strategy is often the most straightforward since it demonstrates the developer’s workflow and what you need to know to forward with your ideas.

Designing Your Card Game

Designing the fundamental game mechanics, the setup and rules, as well as developing the intricate core game mechanics of health totals, resource counters, playing fields, and card kinds are some of the things that need to be done.

You should always be aware of your target audience before starting the conception stage. To appeal to your target audience, you must decide who the game is for and build complicated game mechanics. I decided to cater to a younger audience for my game, one that would include both teenagers and young adults. As a result, the game’s fundamental principles would need to include a more difficult but manageable lesson, an engaging opening, and a shared theme that would appeal to the target audience.

However, if your target audience is younger, you could want a more approachable set of gameplay elements. For instance, Candy Land and Trouble are board games designed for kids that have rules that are so easy for anybody to pick up and play. In contrast, you may often explore darker subjects, more sophisticated tactics, and more play levels with an older audience. Games like Warhammer 40k and chess are two examples.

The creation of the game mechanisms, such as the game pieces and the battlefields, comes next. This action is crucial. Statistics revealed that 73% of respondents identified game design and game mechanics as their main reasons for playing games in a poll that included members of the Tabletop Club and the Esports Club, the two gaming clubs at Bronx Science.

The last stage is the mathematical and more technical portion of the design, concentrating more on the rules, objectives, and methods of play. A complicated game may include rules that span many volumes or perhaps the whole of the game, leaving it up to the players to decide on the game’s abstract objectives and “how to play” guidelines.

Planning Stage

It’s time to start formatting and creating the cards now that we have an understanding of how the game works and its rules. The themes, cards, and battlefield are all created during the design process. Choosing your card-making method is the first stage in the card-making process. It may seem repetitive, but the key is to decide whether you want to base your first card designs on flavor (the top-down design technique) or special mechanics (bottom-up design method). Both of these design approaches are legitimate, but ultimately it comes down to preference.

Spreadsheets are often the ideal tool for creating playing cards since they let you put card names, card texts, prices, descriptions, and flavor texts next to one another. This eliminates the need to create a file for every card and allows you to produce several cards in a small area. Since it would free up room for you to create each card, if you are making a more complicated card game, you could wish to divide your spreadsheet into many spreadsheets divided by card type.
