    I’ve been working on a co-op polyomino game and this gave me some great ideas on how to speed up and make prototyping a bit more efficient.

    I’ve been running into some design challenges based on the fact that in my game players are adding and removing tiles from their board each game, resulting in the available shape on their board changing each round.
