What makes a good idea for a game?

As game designers it can be easy to amass many ideas for possible projects - but how do you decide whether an idea is good enough to start working on? In this video I go through some of the criteria I use to assess my ideas and select the best ones. I'm Matthew Dunstan, a full time board game designer, based in Australia. To date I've had over 60 games published all around the world. On this channel I share advice and experience to help others grow as game designers.
