The Realists Take
So, you’ve always daydreamed about rubbing elbows with Mickey and Cinderella, eh? Well, designing trading card games might not be as glamorous as painting the roses red with Alice, but it’s definitely the next best thing! You’ve got to juggle understanding the Disney universe, game design, and immense hours of ‘studying’ (read: binging) Disney movies. It’s not just about churning out some fancy cards – it’s about writing a love letter to each Disney character, tying that in with game mechanics, and seasoning it all with the spice of fan feedback (which can range from “wow, you guys rock!” to “seriously, why does Pocahontas only have 2 agility points?”). All the while maintaining a dicey balance between promoting strategy-based competition and an aesthetically pleasing game. So basically, it’s less “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo” and more “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”!
