Students will revisit their earlier board game, test how well old directions work without verbal help, analyze engagement mechanics with a community game expert, and identify the first rulebook revisions needed so a new player can learn the game independently.

Students will study how game mechanics shape player experience, identify what makes rules clear or confusing, and turn playtest evidence into draft rulebook decisions for their revised board game.

Students will revise their board game rulebooks through targeted drafting, peer feedback, and validation so a new player can follow the game without help.

Students will present their final board game and rulebook to a real audience, watch how new players use the rulebook without creator help, and capture final evidence about what made the rulebook clear and playable.
