Here some tips:

Dont make complicated stats, start with simple one like atk up, draw1card

If you draw the art by yourself, don't draw the background just use simple effect like sphere light or flashy lighting

Dont make too many card at first set make it less than 100

Do the test play very often you will surprissed how everything that you made have many flaw

Use social media or gameshop as your market



Sorry for my bad english

After watching Yu-gi-oh, playing pokemon, and becoming intelligent from solitaire, it is time to create a card game...in 2 days because I got 9 days off but I thank you for this video! I'll add this to my watch later so I can come back to this!

[gabrielgdiogo]

Straight to the point! Thank you. Great video!

[pikkmat]

its crazy how you don't have more subs, your such a good youtuber!

[summonersfablestcg]

This was a great video and truly helped to inspire me to make my card game! Could you do a video on tips on how to make small printed letters pop, I'm having a little trouble with my small text on my cards all be super visible and fit.

[nickrondinelli]

that's all well and good, but how do I go about making my cards have insane market value that make top meta decks only for those with enough money to shell out a small fortune to be top tier while also having the time to learn degenerate combos that make each turn a 15 minute flex match?

[ExtremelyAverageGames]

such a good video. Very helpful to people wanting to progress with their games. Thanks man!! :)

[shigaki]

I'm stucked on mine for a year. Many versions were made, the system is almost ready. But, when I think about doing an official version, taking care about all process, I shit myself and give up. It's been happening for a year. This feeling throws my energy away

[johndxdragon]

Thank you so much for this video! I've finally decided to make my own tcg and i needed this. Much appreciated!

Rules


1. Leprechaun Quest is a game with two players and a deck of 10 monster cards, 10 trap cards, and 10 spell cards. Your goal is to beat every card in your opponent's deck.
2. First, every player puts a trap card on the field. Trap cards do three things: Give your monster more power based on their magic specialty, change the rules of battle, and decide what kind of battle you’ll do.
3. The game begins when both opponents summon their strongest monsters and place a trap card on the field. Battles begin when two cards are next to each other.
4. You can summon a spell card before a battle begins and reduce your opponent's card to nothing.
5. After that, two cards are done.
6. A draw occurs when both creatures end up destroying each other. Nobody wins this round.
7. Once you are down to your last cards, you can use a signature finisher card. A good gamer always saves his best card for last.
8. The winner is the last one standing.

If anyone makes a game or has made one, I would love to test it for you! I can imagine the amount of work you put in, I know it would be difficult to finally get people playing.

[DRa]

I actually thought this would explain to me how I can program my own game using a program. Maps, rules etc. everything is ready...

[Powner]

My idea is 'Dead TCG' I go to all the failed kickstarters and asked them for their card art and rights to use it. Then I make 3 play styles for each Dead TCG. ... only game where you can have pokemon wannabe fighting super saiyans fighting undead, fighting megaman...

[smalltownreporter]

What are unique ways to promote one’s game? Sell it? Promote?

[T.A.Dragunity]

@HTCGNews what would I use if I want to do foiled rarities, holo/metallic painted backs, and, on occasion, lenticular cards?

[flackenstien]

I'm at the point where I need to find a way to playtest my game to solidify the core mechanics and start to get an idea for the balance and pace.
Are there any good online resources for making tabletop games and card games?

[starkex]

Hello, I just want to create my own card game, for me, my family and my friends. I don't want to selling it or something like that. Just personally use. I have a full game concept and I have actually do my own card game before and it wasn't bad, but for my next game I want to have better quality than I can afford with simple printer and ducktape. I want to make my cards look like m32 linen air. Duck tape isn't wrong choice, but it has shiny skin instead of matte skin. My card game using 300+ cards. Where (or how) can I print this amount of cards, if I don't want to do it like amateur? Or can I do it as amateur with similar quality I want?

[RealDeepHouseKing]

You seem like a normal guy. Which is good, because every other TCG channel is some weirdo. Thanks for the information.
