In this thread, I plan to document the process of creating a card game from scratch.
If you’ve ever wanted to create a card game or a board game, or just want to do something, feel free to follow along and create your own. There will be enough info for you to turn an idea into a finished product, and I’ll do my best to answer any questions you may have. I’m literally giving you my method for creating a game from scratch. All you have to do is put in the work.
As some of you know, I created a card game called Poor Choices and used Kickstarter to fund it. I created it having zero previous experience creating card games, or any custom product for that matter. That eventually led to two versions of the game and two expansion packs. During this process, I learned a lot about what to do and, perhaps more importantly, what not to do. I plan on using this knowledge to increase my chances of hitting a homerun.
Be forewarned, I don’t have a specific timeline in mind. I have a full-time job, so the process will take longer than if I could devote every waking hour to it.
