Playtesting is the heart of game design. Ideas flow thick and fast for many designers, but it is only by getting them on the table in front of players that we see what we have created.

Playtesting is the process by which designers turn ideas into experiences.

This book describes:

- The purpose of playtesting
- Types of playtests
- Protecting your idea
- How many playtests are necessary
- Documenting playtests
- Forms of playtester feedback

... and then goes on to describe 100 questions you should ask during the playtesting process, with a detailed rationale for each of them.
