YRO – Layout for an unofficial solo variant

Layout for the fanmade solo variant for the card game YRO, developed by Niko (Satarius).
The original game is designed by Masato Uesugi with artwork by Takashi Konno and Graphic Design by Immanuel Casto. It is published by Studio Supernova – in Germany by HeidelBÄR Games.

This variant gives you a challenging experience through four campaigns with different goals to achieve.

I created the layout for the rulebook, drawing inspiration from the original game’s artistic watercolor aesthetic and stylized presentation. While I developed most layout elements independently, I incorporated the original icons to ensure visual consistency – with kind permission from the publisher.

It was a pleasure to support Niko’s thoughtful variant with a presentation that respects the original while making his solo mode both accessible and visually engaging.

✨Update July 2025✨The project went on to win the 2025 BoardGameGeek Solo Mode Contest, taking first place in several major categories, including Best Rulebook. Niko and I are very happy and I'm especially grateful I could support his design with a visual presentation.
