Hi everyone, my name is John Fiorillo.
I used to be a professional Magic player and following that I was Lead Developer on a variety of popular card games like Ascension and SolForge.
I got into game design because I loved playing games. With my education in fine arts, my goal was to create an immersive card game that was fun and challenging to play, but also artistically beautiful.
Today I’m finally sharing that creation: a brand new Day of the Dead-themed, poker-inspired card game called Drawing Dead -

The Duke
Drawing Dead is more than just a card game. It’s an immersive role-playing adventure into a frontier saloon where you take on the identity of an archetype of the Wild West. You can choose the assume the mantle of the majestic La Reina, the underhanded Baron von Doom, or the erstwhile Barkeep. Whichever role you choose to play, you’ll have to lie, cheat and steal your way through the dirtiest game of stud west of the Mississippi, while just below the surface these characters hide something sinister and ghastly. They all walk the land of the living… and the Dead…
The Outlaw
Drawing Dead is a family-friendly card game incorporating the rules of 7 Card Stud poker with an interactive component of 10 unique character plot lines designed to manipulate play and shake up strategy.
Each player assumes the character role of an archetype from the Wild West with an elaborate storyline that's totally unique to them. They also possess “living” and “dead” abilities that decide their individual quests to steal the hearts – and souls – of their opponents.
