Take a board game idea from 'wouldn't it be cool if' to a playtestable prototype — core loop, tension source, components you can make tonight, balance starting-points, and a real playtest protocol with kill criteria. Use when someone says 'I have a board game idea', 'design a game about X', 'my game drags in the midgame', or 'how do I playtest this'. Produces a design one-pager, a print-and-play prototype spec, and a 3-session playtest plan.
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓The loop fits in one sentence and contains a decision, not just an action
✓The tension is a *recurring* choice, named concretely
✓Prototype is buildable from household stationery in an evening — if it
✓needs printing services, it's overdesigned for v0.1
✓Every number carries reasoning and a TUNE flag — no false precision
✓Kill criteria exist and are specific enough to actually trigger
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not start with theme, art, or a Kickstarter plan — loop, tension,
cardboard, in that order
Do not claim the idea is original without the prior-art pass, and do not
copy a game wholesale with the theme swapped — name the twist
Do not present first-pass numbers as balanced — playtesting owns balance
