How to Make a Trading Card Game

Have you ever tried finding a cool card game to play with your friends but realized that it wasn't worth the $200 odd dollars you spent on? Wouldn't it be great if you can make your very own card game with a budget of just $25 or less? Below are some steps you can refer to when making your own trading card game.

1. Think of an idea for your card game. Come up with a basic genre such as Fantasy? Science Friction? Or Old Western?

2. Create a game plan. Establish a good set of rules with exciting objectives. It will be no fun if you are playing card games with no rules or a lot of rules to follow. Different kind of games requires different rules. Some are strict while others are looser. You've got to experiment and see what is right for you. Rules must be established with a good playing field. You also need to know how turns will be won or lost and how to win the game.

3. Think about various types of characters in the cards. There must be definitely wide assortment of characters. Power-ups and bonuses are some of the benefits that can make a card game more interesting. You can also make "rule-bending" cards that are able to change rules. Cards like these may group into types, elements, or classes if the creator (that's you) desires. Last important features of the card is graphic. Not many people will be interested to play card game just by looking at the words on a card. If need be, hire an artist.

4. Remember to come up with a time period or an Era. It would be confusing if the creator of Yu-Gi-Oh called his game "A Time in Egypt" for a time period. If your game happen to have many creatures from different time periods, then this step is irrelevant to you.

5. Now, start brain storming a name for your game. Fantasy? Magic? Modern day or even future? The name must be catchy and original so that people want to play your game. Its quite pointless to name your game Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon.

6. Get a program such as MS Paint and a tablet is recommended. Draw out your templates on the program, then write on the card the abilities, color, attack power, name etc... You may also draw the cards by hand, but this is extremely time consuming.

7. Either print out the templates on card or paper, then get your artist to draw on them, or use a tablet to draw them on your laptop.

There you have it. 7 simple steps in getting your first trading card game out without spending tons of money.
