Welcome to the Starlight Galactic, the greatest casino in the universe!
Thrillseekers from across the cosmos flock to this glitzy wonderland to try their tentacles at games of skill and chance. You've got yourself a shot at besting the galaxy's greatest gamblers, including the slipperiest of them all.. the Dealer!
The Dealer is a push-your-luck card game that mixes bluffing with deduction and co-operation with betrayal. Take cards to earn points and make sure you don't bust. There's just one problem: Everyone can see your cards... except you.
Dream project is an understatement. With flawless creative direction by Matthew Hancock and the trust to run with the theme, "alien casino," I created characters, items, a color palette, and spot illustrations to be used across the card game and box.
Each character corresponds to their given attribute or power. Personally, that required developing backstories and world-building to create authentic, lively characters. I loved imagining the planets these folks inhabit, what it would be like to hang out with them at a casino or casually grab a drink, fashion trends, and their personal journeys. The canon will remain unknown, but the hope is that when a player draws their card, they'll daydream up their own version of these characters' personalities when they role-play as them throughout the course of the game.
I adore the sci-fi genre and quirky characters (the Star Wars Cantina is my ideal fictional setting), so this couldn't have been a more pleasurable opportunity. Thanks for lookin'!
