I like the Affinity Suite a lot. It does all I need for my boardgame prototypes. It replaced Photoshop, Illustrator and Publisher for me.https://twitter.com/affinitybyserif/status/1405089314548092930 …

So i currently use Nandeck for cards, tokens, and tiles. I use Inkscape for sell sheets and larger board images. I use OpenOffice for rules docs. Which parts of Affinity Suite might upgrade these processes? For context, designer not planning to self publish.

To be honest it sounds like you've already got a solid workflow going and if you're happy with it there not might be a reason for you to change.

Nandeck is efficient but not pretty. Might be nice to have a 2nd level option after the rapid iteration staff stage if affinity is good for that. Not clear if Designer or Photo would be that. OpenOffice is definitely not great for rules though. That would be Publisher?

This isn't a workflow I have used personally, but I imagine the card layouts would be made either in Photo (raster) or Designer (vectors). Then you can use data merge function in Publisher to fill the cards with data from a spreadsheet.

I personally fill my cards one by one because the latest projects haven't had too many, and the function was not available when I started.

As for a rulebook, Publisher is made from scratch to handle multi-page documents, so that seems like the right fit.
