’m looking for a creative and skilled game designer to help develop a unique trading card game (TCG) concept. The goal is to create an original and competitive TCG that includes: • A crafting mechanic, allowing players to build or modify cards/items within the game • An in-game deck building system, where players adjust or construct their decks dynamically during play • A balanced and engaging structure that makes the game suitable for competitive tournament play
This is an early-stage concept, so I’m looking for someone who can collaborate on the core game mechanics, card types, resource systems, and possibly assist with visual mockups of how gameplay might look.
The ideal freelancer has experience with: • TCG or board game design • Balancing game mechanics for fairness and replayability • Understanding of competitive play formats • Creative systems like crafting or evolving cards
This will be a collaborative design project, and I’m open to your input and ideas as long as we stay within the scope of a tournament-worthy, engaging, and original TCG.
If this sounds like your kind of project, I’d love to hear from you!
