My first board/card game just finished Pre-Production!!
Genuinely so happy, this has been a labor of love over the past year and it's crazy to think that the physical game will be on my doorstep in only a couple days.
Timeline has been:
April 2025: initial concept, first design, and a prototype I printer at staples
May: card redesign, website to playtest the game with friends
June: complete gameplay redesign (and therefore the cards again) based on user feedback (it was way too technical for beginners and had too many moving parts)
July to October: heavy playtesting and balancing using more printouts at first, and then leaning in on the website to do more rapid testing
November 2025 to January 2026: finalizing all the art (learn to play guide, cards, coins and box art)
February to now: anxiously awaiting manufacturing (using AdMagic)
I've learned a ton about how to make a game, now I gotta learn how to market it, truly no clue how to do that but we'll figure it out. If you have any advice on that let me know, and all the same if you need advice on how to get your project from 0 to 1 I'm happy to point people in the right direction!
TLDR: WOOHOOOOOOOO
