Task · part of 7. The blind test, with people who have never seen it

7(a). Write an instruction sheet that works without you

Required Often forgotten

Everything needed to play: how to set the game up, how to play it, how it ends, and the objectives. This is what requirement 7(b) actually tests.

Notes and warnings

Note. This instruction sheet is the thing being tested at 7(b), where you may not explain anything. Setup, play, ending and objectives, all of it has to be on the page, because you will be sitting there unable to help.

Where this step comes from
