Iteration

In the development of a board game, like the one shown in the photo, Race for the Galaxy, iteration is a necessary part of design. To test the mechanics of a game, a simple prototype with easily altered parts is played many times. Often, designers will use cheap playing cards with home printed card information adhered to them. That gives them greater strength than typical printing paper, and they are not as hard to cut as cardstock. With each play through of the game, it can be updated with a simple reprint when a mechanic doesn't work or a better solution exists.
