We wanted to avoid "bomb" cards that were obvious drafting choices but this posed a real balance challenge for the design of the "Special" cards. #Spellcrafter #DesignNotes #boardgamesky

Taking the best letter is safe, but to score big you may need to take a risk by staying in one suit. The Toil card can help. #Spellcrafter #GameLore #indiegamedev #ttrpg #gamedev

Spellcrafter was partly inspired by FAIRY TALE. I loved using the drafting mechanic to create sets of cards but wanted to build a WORD game. 🔗 #Spellcrafter #GameMechanics #boardgamesky #indiegamedev #gamedev

Early playtester feedback: "If I end up getting the right letters, great! If I don't, then I have to stop and pivot to something new in my head with the letters I remember. The improvisation can be challenging, but it's so satisfying when my last-minute letter choices come through" - C. Tellez
