From Idea to Prototype in an Afternoon

The Cardswild engine separates mechanics (the proven part) from theme (the creative part). You provide the theme: card names, art, and flavor. The engine handles everything else.

Try the AI-Assisted Workflow

Paste our design prompt into any AI assistant and describe your theme in one sentence. You’ll get a complete, balanced game design, ready to play.
