Playtesting helps identify pacing issues, overpowered mechanics, and any areas where rules may need clarification. It\u2019s where theory meets reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Setup: A Deep Dive into Strategy and Fun<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With character sheets, miniatures, custom dice, and game boards spread across the table, our team set out to experience the game from a player\u2019s perspective.
