BOARD GAMES

    As a game designer it is very crucial to make paper prototypes of the games we are trying to design. This allows us to ensure that the number and game mechanics are balanced as well as getting an idea of how fun our mechanics are. Here are some paper prototypes that I've made that range into dice games, card games and board games.
