Regardless of your audience or your game’s topic, you should be able to explain your game in just a few words.

When explaining your game, start by describing the objective. Then proceed to the actions that you will take to achieve that objective, then to the skills that the game will test.

It’s best when describing gameplay to speak thematically, rather than mechanically.

Even deep and complex games have a high-level idea. If you find your description pulled in too many directions, it may be time to step back and re-evaluate the scope of the gameplay, and focus on just a few key points.
