7 - Don't change the rules just because it's difficult
8 - If you knock the board, you should just leave
9 - Small children and pets should be kept away/ignored at all times
10 - Respect the game components
For The Games
1 - Make sure that the box is capable of holding all the bits and expansions. Release new boxes as necessary
2 - Make sure the rules actually make sense
3 - Make sure there aren't any printing errors or typos that might spoil the way the game runs
4 - If you're going to release a game in a certain country, then ALL subsequent expansions must also be released there
5 - Make sure all your expansions/versions are compatible in terms of card design/piece size etc
6 - Don't be a set of money grabbing bastards
7 - Make sure your fully assembled board game actually fits on a standard table
8 - Make sure components are durable. They should survive longer than I will
9 - If you commit to a film or TV series, then you have to include every entry in that series - no picking and choosing
10 - If your game needs technology, make sure the technology is constantly supported
11 - Games should be accessible to as many people as possible
12 - Unless there's a very good reason (Exit), a game shouldn't have a limit on plays
