This steps will teach you how to create a card game. It may be a simple one or complicated one, either way, you can always edit and fix it afterwards.
1Decide the time period. Is it B.C, 2013, the current date, future or past, some random time in another universe? Whatever it is, never say B.C, but then add laser guns to the game, it makes you look like an idiot.Ad
2Get a good set of rules. For example, every card requires a certain amount of sacrifices of other cards, or maybe you have to use energies to play a card, or maybe even it doesn't have a cost.
3Make different types of cards like characters/monsters, traps, abilities, areas, effects and maybe even space ships.
4Make the cards. Most people recommend that you make a template on Microsoft Paint or Adobe Photoshop. Some people couldn't, so they just drew them out. It took about 2 days and about 4 hours of thinking them up added with writing them for a 60 card deck when I tried, but I'm not a human so you'll get it faster.
5Make a testing phase, with about 10 people, note down the problems and then edit to fix them (i.e a misspelling, one lacking abilities or one with too much cost, one with an incorrect ability)
6Finally, make them, and then play the game with your friends, or if you want to try to make a few bucks in the process, see if a company will manufacture your card game.Ad
We could really use your help!

- Have fun!!! The point of this is to have fun.
- Be creative and stay on subject when making the game. You don't want dinosaurs to have laser lances (unless you REALLY want too) and knights to have robotic horses (again, if you want to then do, but it is not recommended.)
- All of the time, update and add expansions. If you get into a big company, you'll have to update or they will drop you.
- Use something you already know about, for example if you're a comic book junky make a superhero game.
- Big companies will ignore you, so that might not happen, just keep up with different companies. If they all ignore you, just keep on trying so that eventually, one HAS to take you.
- Before going to a big company, try to have 2 or 3 expansions already planned, and a good presentation for the beginning, and each one.
Things You'll Need
- GIMP , Paint or Photoshop.
- Cardstock preferably for paper.
