Design
Game Design refers to the process of creating and shaping the mechanics, rules, structures, and overall play of your card game. If you have an idea for a game in your head, you’ve engaged in a very simple, yet foundational form of game design: the idea phase. Design is where your card game starts to take shape. It’s the stage where ideas become systems and visuals become tools for play. In this section, we look at how thoughtful design can make your game more engaging, and easier to learn.
