Pitch 'it

Pitch 'it is a role-playing card game where players take the role of game designers, pitching ideas to fit a project brief.

Rounds involve players drawing a new project card and pitching their idea using player cards of rules, art, and experience. (Very similar to games such as Funemployed, Cards against Humanity and Superfight.) Players can then discuss and debate which idea fits the brief best.

The game has multiple ways to play, with additional rounds for iteration where players can change up their ideas with random cards, combine ideas with other players or create more constraints on the project briefs.

These cards have been used to help inform stakeholders on game design, offloading some of the game design comprehension required. The best way to play is to have one player read out a brief, then everyone pitches an idea from the cards they have in hand (they can use however many they want). After each pitch, players can ask questions or critique to better up-sell their idea. The player who reads out the brief then picks their favourite idea.

The current version is the third iteration of the game. There are a total of 85 project briefs and 10 blank briefs to make your own. There are 54 rule cards, 50 art/theme, and 23 experience cards.

Available to download is the current card pack and a set of rules (also as screenshots). Feedback on balancing, text and project briefs is appreciated.
