Morality Morons
What is it?
Morality Morons is a card game I designed as part of a graphic design project, combining gameplay with a strong visual style. I’ve always enjoyed playing card games with friends, so I wanted to challenge myself to create my own. In the game, players take turns drawing cards and responding to morality-based questions, while a rotating judge awards points based on how clever, interesting, or entertaining each answer is. The player with the most points at the end wins.
The idea for the game came from a random creative exercise where I picked three unrelated books from the library—one about Chernobyl, one about architecture, and one about morality—and tried to find a connection between them. That process led me to focus on ethical dilemmas as the core of the game.
Building it up
Since I had never designed a card game before, the production side was a new experience. I created 36 unique cards, along with a rule sheet and custom box, and learned a lot about preparing designs for print and thinking through how a physical product comes together.
Final Product
Visually, I leaned into a 1970s game show style, using bold colors and retro-inspired type. The writing resembles that of a quippy, sarcastic, slightly annoying game show host, which helps give the game its personality. The cards are also color-coded to represent different types of moral scenarios, making the game easier to navigate. Through this project, I developed skills in concept development, visual identity, typography, writing, and basic game design, while also gaining experience with print setup and packaging design.
