CARD GAME DESIGN

Effwords

A game of effed up words.

EFFWORDS is a party game of fake words and wacky definitions. Each round, one player uses letter tiles to create a fake word, and the other players anonymously submit their funniest definition cards to define the word. The player who submitted the best definition earns a point. To put it super simply, it’s basically Cards Against Humanity meets Bananagrams.
Game designer, Justin Berman, contacted me needing the game branded, designed, and packaged. His goal was to brand and design the game, then get funded on Kickstarter to get it manufactured. Unfortunately the project didn’t get funded, but it was a blast to work on this quirky game with him. We ended up with a design that felt friendly but is obviously for adults.

Some portfolio updates are coming before the end of the year (because I’ve procrastinated on that for long enough) so some more design focused posts are coming down the pike. But for now, you’re stuck with this cutie. 🤗
Proof of life. I’m still here, still designing/w Proof of life. I’m still here, still designing/working during every toddler nap and late into the night. This year is such a beat down, but I’ve been trying to make sure we have more positive days than negative. I find my fuse has been shorter the further into the year we go (like today, one tiny human had to be touching me 95% of his waking hours) and it’s something I’m hyper aware of and I know I can’t be alone in.

I’ve also learned I am not great at keeping friendships active over text or video calls and rely on in person-plans. Friends, please know I hope we can pick up where we left off when things are safer. We’ve cancelled or postponed so many trips, play dates, childcare plans, the list goes on. On the flip side, we’ve seen so many baby milestones together that I know one of us would have missed. Anyway. Just saying hi. Here’s some pumpkins.
