When you test the game Please...
Posted: Tue Aug 12, 2008 10:05 pm
When you go into the Beta Testing Phase, please include a few folks that know nothing of the board game.
Very needed with the Tutorial and Manual.
This will help to insure that things that are common knowledge for those folks "in the know", are not left out or not explained. As I have seen this happen in many rulesets, as they progressed things got left that now made no sense. An example leaves out a part that "everyone" knows, leaving new players in a lurch.
The scope of WiF will seem daunting enough, please do not add to it.
I hope the game does well, played when I was 19-20, and that was many blue moons ago.
Just a plea to say, make the support for the game as clear as possibile. Allow a few novices and a few war gamers who do not know WiF a look so you will know if it makes sense or not.
Good Luck,
Lee
