Rags to Riches Playtest notes By Miles Von Schriltz Playtest 1: Participants: My Girlfriend Bonnie o Age: 26 o Doesn’t play strategy games Bonnie’s sister who I hadn’t met before o Age: 30 o Plays a lot of board games In order to get an unbiased playtest I initially told Bonnie a little white lie. I told her that I was testing a game for another student. I didn’t know her sister so I was able to get an unbiased result from her. The playtest took about 25 minutes. There wasn’t a winner. The game was too confusing for the participants; there were too many mechanics. The game was moving so slowly that we ended the play test and I talked to them about the game.

Rags to Riches Playtest notesBy Miles Von Schriltz

Playtest 1:

Participants: My Girlfriend Bonnie

o Age: 26o Doesn’t play strategy games

Bonnie’s sister who I hadn’t met beforeo Age: 30o Plays a lot of board games

In order to get an unbiased playtest I initially told Bonnie a little white lie. I told her that I was testing a game for another student. I didn’t know her sister so I was able to get an unbiased result from her.

The playtest took about 25 minutes. There wasn’t a winner. The game was too confusing for the participants; there were too many mechanics. The game was moving so slowly that we ended the play test and I talked to them about the game.
