Blackout Card Game

Created as a project in college, Blackout originated as a drinking game concept tied to the Happy Hour Fund, a mutual aid based in Washington DC and LA. With a short turnaround time, I decided to rework an already existing game, Exploding Kittens. By maintaining the game mechanics and basic graphic elements while completely overhauling the art and design, I created a more mature drinking game that preserved the goofiness of the original.

The graphics were all drawn and created in Illustrator. The cards were printed through myplayingcards.com.
