My 7yo son and I decided to make a simpler card battle game recently. Kind of surprised we have been following your steps. Appreciate your step by steps and encouragement. So far the designing and prototyping has been a blast.

These videos are fantastic! I think a more detailed video on the "balance and refine / iterate and improve" section would be exactly what I'm looking for! That step is impossibly hard for me...

Nice work! I think it would be helpful to have some kind of flow graph of the steps, especially for the looping where you go through the same processes over and over again.

This is a lot like Agile in software develpment, a paradigm I'm still coming to terms with. Overall, I really like this approach to tabletop game design. The one aspect in your guidance I strongly disagree with is "don't make a complete rulebook" by the time of playtesting with others. This can easily be confused with "don't write down your rules," which I think would be a major mistake for any tabletop project. It's easy for developers to take a lot of information for granted in their rules, so it helps to write them down and reference them early on, forcing you to become aware of exactly how the 'engine' of your game works.

I hate tutorials that say things like : "Get Inspired" or "Dream Big" because they are ultimately no help to someone looking for said "inspiration". Saying you need to "dream big" helps no one
