In the aims of creating a card based game prototype I made a character based card game where power levels and elemental attributes were key to the understanding and enjoyability.
I exercised my artistic ability to convey both power by scale and elemental connection visually by organising the character card groups by type (Aqua, Undead, Flame). The illustrations and characters were essential here as if there was any confusion within groups it could easily become unnatural to pin one card against another where it would otherwise be easy to tell.
Group collaboration was a part of the questioning and feedback process and in this card game I came to realize that player input and testing is KEY to know whether your multiplayer card game is understandable or charming visually.
