Today I want to mention a possible way to measure quality of a game, following a model called TARGET.
\nFor each of the attributes I have also added some easy questions you can use to measure them.<\/p>\n
Theme<\/strong>: Is the theme enjoyable and close to reality? Are information on which game is based on realistic? Is the goal of the game consistent with the theme?<\/p>\n Aesthetics<\/strong>: How is material in the game? How is the iconography of the artefacts? What about readability of the information (cards, rulebook,…)?<\/p>\n Replay-ability<\/strong>: How your knowledge of the game can change the game experience? How many variants you can play? How many players combination?<\/p>\n Game length<\/strong>: Is game length consistent with theme? Are there some moments where some player is only watching? Is the flow of the mechanic fluent or start&stop?<\/p>\n Easy of play<\/strong>: Are rules clear and straightforward? Are there some weird exceptions to normal flow? Are there support to explain the game?<\/p>\n Tactics & strategy<\/strong>: What is the role of luck? Can player predict, monitor and control different phases of the games? Are players able to adopt different working behaviours?<\/p>\n You can measure each of these with a score 1 to 5 (or stars).<\/p>\n
