Most new board game designers make these 5 mistakes, including me when I started. Learn from these mistakes to save time and money!

1:28 – 1. Focusing on a game for too long
3:35 – 2. Test 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. You don't get your game on the table fast enough
10:38 – 5. Being defensive during game testing/not listening to feedback
