Creating a Trading Card Game - where to get started?


Hello everyone!I’ve been making boardgames and trading card games for my friends and family for quite some years now, but I’ve never released anything to the public or printed anything professionally. I’d really like to, but I’m concerned about the logistics of this and how to design the game with this in mind, so I’d appreciate advice from anyone with experience (even if just as a collector or player).

My last design couldn’t be printed because I wasn’t aware of deck count constraints on most printing sites, and I’m looking to avoid that.

I think games such as these are at their best when cards are randomized - so there are cards of various rarity. But I have no idea how to go about printing something like this. I’m also thinking about having a “base game” deck with an established count of each card type, and then booster packs later that include new characters and cards with varying probabilities.

Any and all advice is much appreciated, and I’m more than happy to elaborate on my ideas in comments!

I wanted to remaster, an older piece of mine. How did I do? Tap/swipe to see the piece I created a whole year ago in January of 2023!

Little preview of #ShamrockFreddy on my playing card designs. I'm doing the AR skins for the 9s, so each of the 9 clubs gets a skin

Some pixel art of Freddy #FanArtWithFreddy ! Kinda hard to get the contrast to work with the colors, but I think it adds a fun detail!

Simple little woodcarving I did for a friend a few months ago. #AmongUsFriday
