🎲 Mechanics Playtest with Designer

A local game store owner or tabletop designer rotates among teams as students run short playtests of their prototype scenes and rules. Teams observe where players hesitate, misread cards, or lose interest, then capture comments on a testing protocol that separates clarity issues, balance issues, and historical questions. Students end with a short designer note in their journals naming one mechanic to change, one player experience to improve, and one collaboration move they used.
