Overview
I developed Velocity Card Game from the ground up as an original TCG built around the strategy of competitive sports. Players construct teams of Athletes, manage their lineup and Momentum Points, make substitutions, and use Actions, Events, Equipment, Coaches, and Arenas to gain advantages throughout a match. I created the game's core rules and mechanics alongside its complete visual identity, including card frames, branding, team identities, athlete artwork direction, promotional graphics, and the Tempo, Defense, IQ, and Power play philosophies. The first set focuses on basketball while establishing a system designed to expand into additional sports. The project has also expanded beyond the physical card design into a playable digital simulator, allowing the game to be tested, balanced, and refined as Velocity continues development.
The Challenge
Every block on this page was added in the CMS. Use the block editor at the bottom of the project form to add headings, paragraphs, images, quotes, stats and more — then drag them into the order you want.
The Inspiration
Velocity was inspired by a lifelong love of sports, competition, and trading card games. The goal was to capture the strategy and excitement of building a team while creating a system that could grow beyond a single sport. Basketball serves as the starting point, establishing the foundation for a larger multi-sport TCG built around different teams, philosophies, and ways to compete.
What I delivered
- Full Trading Card Game that is ready for play.
- Free Working simulator for anyone to play on.
- Design guidelines that will be consistent throughout the game's existence.

What began as a concept has evolved into a functional TCG that can be tested, balanced, expanded into new sports, and ultimately prepared for a full public release.
