What is it about?
In this paper, we propose a novel approach towards a solution that leverages the expressive power of playing cards for game design. Initially focusing on well-known card games, we illustrate the steps for creating CardScript, a formal language and toolkit that supports game design processes.

Why is it important?
Card game creation is a powerful tool for game design. Using playing cards, game designers can rapidly prototype and iteratively playtest a game’s core mechanisms to explore alternatives and improve the gameplay. However, this process is time-consuming, imprecise and challenging to steer and focus.
Perspectives
Card games are fun to play, but can also be used as tools for the design and playtesting of other types of games
