The adventure has to begin somewhere...
Design...
Typically our designs begin on paper. Some loose squiggles, character ideas, curious names and guesses on the number of parts. When there is more than a page or two, things need to go digital.
Build a Print-n-Play...
With an "idea" of what the game might be, try to push the pieces into a playable form to test the mechanics. When possible, keep things simple and just use a standard deck of cards.
Playtest, Playtest, Playtest...
Game mechanics will combine in unexpected ways. To find out if the game works with 6 players, you need to play with 6 players.
