Tool to prototype board and card games. The idea behind this tool is to provide an interface that is as easy and intuitive to use as paper prototyping, with the added power and benefits of being a digital tool.

This is Very Nice, but load Button not appearing. Could you add image to cards?
Thanks! The Load is implicit right now. Once you Save it loads automatically when you open the tool. And hence there's only one project as such. Planning to implement Save and Load of multiple projects.
Regarding images, you mean something like upload a custom image? I'll plan for that.
I've added the option to upload an image to a card. Do let me know your feedback.
I tried the First time uploading a image and It worked Fine, But now, its keeps crashing whenever i try again.
Ah, that's unfortunate. Can you tell me at which point it crashes, or else if you're able to reproduce the error, a screen recording would be great so I can try to debug. And when you mean crash, what exactly happens?
When its about to show 3 options like my camera and Gallery, But It Just crashes(closes).
Just to confirm, are you using this on mobile or desktop? I just tried the same on mobile and got a similar crash, but it seems to be working fine on desktop. I'll debug this further.
I've setup a Discord for more detailed conversations and feature requests for this: https://discord.gg/3YKHWvGpGY
Many thanks for your patience and responses :)
Also we could have the option to change the whole card image.
You mean having the image cover the whole card, and not have a description?
Yes.
Sounds good. I had idea where you just upload an image and can manipulate it like a card. So no title, description, etc, but just the image. This could cover some more generic use cases than a card, but maybe could work for you as well?
Keep the great work 😎
Thanks! That's motivating :)
This is nice, it feels good to use it. Nothing feels extra, all the features are quite polished.
Areas of play could be made, like big rectangles with a tagg added, there could also be pieces to be moved around.
Glad to know you like the tool.
Regarding pieces, do you mean some kind of icons/shapes? Should they have color, text, etc?
I've added an "Area" object based on your suggestion. You can edit the title and resize it using the handle on the bottom right. Do try it out and let me know if it's what you wanted. Happy to further improve the tool based on your feedback.
Sorry for the late answer, yes the area was what I had in mind. It helps me divide the play areas in the game, it's mainly for my own benefit, but it can be quite helpful to make more concrete some ideas (the image you have of the areas is a good example of this). Also, the tags are cool, I use them as tokens (money/power units) or pieces I want to represent. Nice job.
Good to know, thanks!
