Prototype. Make a pen-and-paper version, pantomime the game, tell the story -- do something to test the game's excitement power before building it.

Nope, but a box of Jenga and some small stuffed toys would suffice ;) (And actually, my brother and I played a paper version of Worms when we were kids - with the map drawn in pen, and our movements and attacks plotted in pencil - was fun)
