I think this question is better asked on BGG, maybe here (https://boardgamegeek.com/forum/26/bgg/board-game-design) or here (https://boardgamegeek.com/forum/1530034/bgg/seeking-playtesters).

I’m no game designer but some questions I would ask:

Is the rulebook comprehensible and specific?
What I mean is, is it easy to read and understand and is there not much leeway to interpret the rules?

Is the rulebokk well structured.

Are the units designed well?
Point costs, stats+ abilities, are they all diferent enough or is one doing the job of another?

Does the game offer something unique in comparison with other games of the same genre you have played?

Is this game missing something in your opinion?

Did you enjoy your time with this game?

Would you recommend this game to other people?
