Joshua Balvin (Oktoberfest, Salem) shares what he’s learned about the process of designing board games:

1. Don’t get attached to your game/mechanics.
2. When you think the game is done… think again.
3. Be willing to let go of a game idea.
4. Learning the process takes time and rigor.
5. Keep playing new games and have discussions about what worked/didn’t work and why.
6. Remember why you’re doing it.
