You will find below rules for card games I’ve designed, all of which can be played with a normal pack of cards. Some rules are in development and will be updated over time – feedback welcome!
Sweet Shop
Sweet Shop is a light strategy game in which players choose combinations of dice rolls to draft cards that grant points and extra bonuses. Players use their dice to grab cards (sweets) from the shelf and then “eat” them. But you need the right dice rolls to grab and eat the sweets you want. Eating sweets gives bonuses that makes future grabbing and eating easier, Choose the right sweets and manage your appetite carefully!
20 – 30 minutes
1-4 players
The solo version of Sweet Shop can be played online here.
Earthlings
Earthlings is a deck-building game in which players use their deck to take new cards from a central grid, to improve their deck and to earn points. Each player is an alien abducting humans from the town, and their deck is their spaceship. Grab and brainwash the right humans to grab even better humans, win the abduction competition and become the most successful alien.

Vanish
Vanish is a card game inspired by the game Scout. Players cannot rearrange the order of their cards and must make sets to succeed. Throughout the game cards “vanish” by turning backwards in players’ hands, reducing their options but creating sets by joining cards together.
Vanish is still in the early design stages and needs more testing and development – give it a try and share your ideas!
