Most new board game designers make these 5 mistakes, including me when I first started. Learn from these mistakes to save yourself time and money!
1:28 - 1. Focusing on one game for too long
3:35 - 2. Testing your games ONLY with friends and family
5:19 - 3. Spending too much time and money on how a game looks rather than how it plays
8:53 - 4. Not getting your game to the table soon enough
10:38 - 5. Being defensive/not listening to feedback during playtests
