2Visualize. It's important to know what you want to do, for example if you are inventing a card game try to visualize whether you want it to be multi-player, also if it's a group game whether there is one winner or teams.

3Think creatively. Try to look for something that hasn't been done before, or look for something that has been done but you think it could be better.

4Keep it simple, over-complication makes any imaginative product or idea to complicated for others or yourself to follow.

5Though some ideas at first seem like a flop, go with it, you might be pleasantly surprised at the turnout. Not all ideas can be amazing so don't give up if you can't do it right away
