Tyler Sigman wrote an article on Gamasutra about "paper prototyping" and playtesting for digital games, but some of his tips are useful for board games too. He even cites bgdf.com as a resource!

Super-Secret Clandestine Game Construction Resource: The Board Game Designer's Forum
Although I've shared some of my own tips on paper game construction, a great resource for other tips and opinions is the Board Game Designer's Forum: www.bgdf.com. Truth be told, I avoid the site for the most part - not because it's not useful (it is!). It's just that there are so many good tips to be found, it can be a bit... distracting. Plus, I don't like to expose myself to a million other design ideas while I'm in the midst of gelling a design. It really is a good site, though.
