What a great time!

Discoveries from today’s playtest: this game is not optimized for six people to play. 😅

I have long figured the ideal was 2-4. I figured I’d try to see if it could support 6. It’s not a great time for the sixth player.

There are some ways around it, but I am not sure if it’s worth optimizing for a group of that size vs keeping what’s working well for a smaller table.

Playtest was a success, although I need to be a better moderator.

My game is reasonable, but too complex for someone who isn’t into board games. That’s not a bad thing, but it meant that today I was spending too much time telling people “This is how you do it” when I should have been saying, “What do you think you need to do next?”

Good learning for my technique and some insights for the game overall. #boardgamedesign #tabletopgamedesign #boardgames #tabletopgames #gamedesign #FlightNineteen
