How do you approach rules design?
My Philosophy:
• define focus & scope
• adhere to the focus & scope above all else
• solve problems within scope
• avoid special cases at all costs
• polish
• revise
• polish
• repeat
Personal Rules for Design:
• write the rules down
• play test the rules from the text not from your mind
• get people who don’t know you to test them
• listen to the feedback you get but don’t get wrapped up in it
• don’t pretend the rules are the charts, the rules are the text, the charts are an aid
That’s just me. May not work for you.
