Why Some Card Games Feel Smart… and Others feel random
25. März 2026 um 17:00

In this video, we break down the 3 hidden design principles that make games feel deep:
00:00 - 00:42 Intro
00:43 - 01:35 What does deapth really mean
01:36 - 02:20 Meaningful choices
02:21 - 02:37 Trade-offs
02:37 - 03:15 Delayed rewards
Using examples from popular games like Terraforming Mars and Wingspan, we’ll show how great game design creates satisfying decisions — and how we applied these ideas in our own game Fintastic Sea.
If you're designing your own card game, this is one of the most important concepts to understand.
