About this Gig

I will review your digital board game rulebook from the perspective of a brand-new player who does not have the game in front of them. I run Bowers Game Corner, a board game YouTube channel with more than 32,000 subscribers and nearly fifteen years of experience covering, teaching, reviewing, and analyzing board games.


My feedback focuses on whether the rules flow logically, key concepts are introduced at the right time, if examples are needed/improved, ETC.


This is ideal for rulebooks at nearly any stage, from an early text-only draft to a near-final version with graphics and layout.


My goal is not to rewrite your game or nitpick every comma. I focus on the player experience: what is unclear, what information feels missing, what may confuse new players, and how the rulebook can teach the game more effectively.


What you will receive:

Page-by-page comments and suggestions covering a WIDE GAMBIT of suggestions.

Honest first-reader feedback

Notes on rule flow, clarity, terminology, setup, gameplay, and common points of confusion

Feedback from someone who has read thousands of board game rulebooks

    Excellent, speedy review of our rulebook. It was done with a critical eye and attention to detail - with both big and small issues being flagged and tagged accordingly. Highly recommend to anyone, especially someone new to the game design space!

    It was great, got some new insights and things I did not think about that improved the rulebook that he looked at. It is just a good way to get some extra eyes on it from somebody who has seen a lot of rulebooks and learned games that way.
