So when you’re planning for your pitch, think not just in terms of your fun, mechanical hooks—make sure everything is working towards fulfilling the appeal of your game’s promised experience.

Question f/ historical game designers: While striving f/ accuracy, what are some good rules to follow when condensing a timeline? Or when making any type of editorial decisions about history to make a game more playable? @colewehrle.bsky.social @writegameread.bsky.social @volko.bsky.social

The thing I'm always chasing is a stable enough game with room for astonishing events to occur. Memorable moments that stick with the players, that they find themselves re-telling to folks who weren't there. That drama is what I enjoy in games and what I usually try to design for.

Fun tip about prototyping boardgames. Often your games in the collection have the pieces you need. If not a few cool tokens, maybe a set of mock tiles and cards that generally work for your needs.
