Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.
Rules:
- Play nicely with others here.
- Discussion should be at least somewhat related to board games and all that entails.
- Self-promotion is allowed within reason. Don't go overboard!

Test it, test it, test it.
Test to the point of failure, iterate on the systems and test again. 90% of game design is testing.
Also test with many different groups. What one group finds easy and clear, another might find hard and confusing.
Oh I've got that part down, we've been playing this for a few years now.
Test it at a game dev convention like unpub or protospiel. Other game developers will have better insight on how well it works. There are also often publishers there or at least people with experience pitching to publishers that you can learn from.
