Receiving Feedback

Getting feedback during play testing is central to board game development. I’ve found the feedback from play testers comes right after I’ve played my budding new game myself for awhile.

Once I’ve got sufficient feedback I’ll move onto graphic design, which in my case means hiring someone to do that. But, how do I know when I’ve had enough feedback, or when the feedback is no longer contributing to making the board game better.
