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.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Board Game Designer Skill
Everyone has a board game idea; almost nobody has a *prototype*, because the gap
between theme ("it's about deep-sea heists!") and game (what do I DO on my
turn?) is where ideas stall. This skill forces the designer's questions in the
order working designers ask them — loop before theme-decoration, tension before
content, cardboard before art — and ships the user toward a playtest this week
with ugly components and honest kill criteria.
## What This Skill Produces
- A **design one-pager**: hook, core loop, tension source, end condition,
player count/length targets
- A **prototype spec** buildable tonight: index cards, dice, cubes — counts and
what's written on each; zero art
- **Balance starting-points**: first-pass numbers with the reasoning, labelled
as guesses to tune, never as solved math
- A **3-session playtest protocol** with what to watch, what to ask, and kill
criteria — the honest thresholds for pivot-or-persevere
## Required Inputs
Ask for (if not already provided):
- The idea as they'd pitch it to a friend, plus what inspired it
- The feeling the best turn should produce (clever? tense? gleeful betrayal?)

How to install
mdr add mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills/board-game-designer@sha256:c7135f5ae8ee17c9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260725.34d8a37, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
