I decided to ask the local shop to print a test copy for a zine I wrote last summer (and have been working on illustrating for months). I don't often deal with print tests of zines at such an early stage, but I wanted to see how the art holds up in print.

Wow. 11 years ago, my son Rory, then age 7 breathlessly delivered the rules of this game from the back of the car. We then made it. Nice. He’s 18 now, and we really should do an anniversary edition.
A screenshot of a Facebook text post from OP which reads:

On this day
11 years ago
30 Jul 2014
.. .
I know I'm a little bit biased, but I think my 7 year old just verbally designed a really good little card game.
It's for a licensed property, but I think it's potentially a good enough game that it'd stand a reskin. l've ordered some blank cards and we'll prototype and play it. Who knows, might put it up on drivethrucards eventually if it works as well as I think it might.
I'm slightly boggled that he just trotted it out as something he'd "been thinking about". We do talk about making games quite a lot. But yeah. Wow.A photo of the completed game: The Forest Dragon by Rory Age 9. The cover is a child’s drawing of a green dragon looming over some jagged rocks or mountains, facing off against a small adventurer holding their sword above their head.
