HANABI
LEGENDS

In Hanabi, players try to launch a colorful fireworks show. In my supernatural retheme, players instead try prove the existence of aliens, werewolves, and other urban legends.

I designed the card artwork, tokens, rulebook, and box in Photoshop.

 

 

JAIPUR
EEVEELUTION

In Jaipur, players trade spices, metals, and fabrics to become the Maharaja's top merchant. My Pokémon retheme swaps desert wares for Eevees as players compete to catch 'em all.

I designed the cards, tokens, rulebook, and box in Photoshop. I 3D printed a custom poker chip rack to hold the tokens. Credit for the Eevee artwork goes to Thong Le.

NARUTO LOVE LETTER

In Love Letter, players court the Princess while thwarting other suitors. The competition moves to the Hidden Leaf Village in my Naruto retheme, where players battle to become Hokage.

I designed the cards, rulebook, and box in Photoshop. I painted the wooden tokens by hand. The character art is from the official Naruto Card Game Tournament III Booster Pack.

 

 

VALENTINE
MAGIC DECK

I made 60 original Magic: The Gathering cards as a Valentine’s Day gift. They can't be used in official gameplay, but might fool you from a distance.

I designed them in Photoshop and glued the printed images to actual Magic cards. The $1.99 deck box is jazzed up with spray adhesive and glitter. The card concepts and text are mine, the artwork (found online from a variety of sources) is not.

 

 

THE WITCH IN THE WOODS

The Fox in the Forest is a trick-taking game with a woodland fairy tale setting. In my witchy retheme, the three suits represent different styles of witchcraft: cute, spooky, and classic.

I designed the card artwork, rulebook, and box in Illustrator. The scorekeeping tokens are made of dichroic glass.
