These are some of the WORST game design tips we have ever heard... Today we are reacting to an article - The 10 Commandments of Board Game Design by Tom Chick. Honestly, they are more like 10 suggestions, or even pet-peeves 🤣
We had a blast discussing our thoughts on his commandments and how silly they are. A couple of them we believe are downright wrong! Boardgame design is such an intricate art, and now more than ever is stretching the idea of what a gaming experience can be! Putting limitations on that can be a difficult thing to accomplish. Maybe eventually we will create our own commandments of game design.
We continue the discussion during the Being Friends After Show on our Patreon! Check it out!
