DESIGN GOAL
Goblinade is intended to be a casual filler game that is easy to pick up and play with little strategy needed to enjoy the game. It's main demographic is casual families with ages nine and up. We accomplished our goal through the use of clearly laid out cards, fun illustrations, and by creating back-and-forth gameplay by including reactionary cards.

Goblinade is intended to be a casual filler game that is easy to pick up and play with little strategy needed to enjoy the game. It's main demographic is casual families with ages nine and up.

CARD LAYOUT
- Goblinade cards contain either three or four elements depending on whether they are ingredient, action or reaction cards or if it is a customer card.
- To make it easier for players to recognize each card type we used a different colored banner for each.
- Illustrations act to further card identification with experienced players knowing a card by the image and not having to reference the card's name.
- Infoboxes contain all the information players need to use the card without referencing any other documentation.
REACTION CARDS
- Goblinade's reaction cards each counter one to two action cards. Using a reaction card lowers a player's card advantage until the end of their next turn.
