Top 5 Hobby Board Game Design Principles
65Board game design is HARD. I've helped design and playtest several, and while I'm working on one that's all my own, it is NOT easy. Some time ago, I did a video on 5 core principles of gaming, but it was recently brought to my attention that I went over game MECHANICS, instead. So I thought, let's get this fixed!
Good game design means you have to balance a lot of aspect simultaneously while making a fun, strategic experience for players. What're the most important aspects, though? What particularly makes you think that the designer(s) had their heads on straight and did a good job? More importantly, what makes you think that they really weren't thinking much at all? Let me know all your thoughts in the comments!
