I am at the point now where I need to send my game off to playtesters where I won't be able to supervise so to speak. Does anyone use a post playtest questionnaire, or how to you gather information on how the game went?
Best,

I found this...
http://dr.wictz.com/2013/10/what-to-ask-on-blind-play-tester.html
But I'm sure you could probably find more... Just Google something like:
board game blind playtest questionnaire
That's how I got the above link. It's not the greatest - I would search some more... I'm sure you'll find something that works for you.
He talks about UNPUB so I figured I'd link the UNPUB Feedback form too:

Someone posted this awhile
Someone posted this awhile back, and I saved it...
Some good questions to ask of play testers as a start (you could ask more or fewer questions, but these will get you started to find what needs work);
-How would you rate the quality of your overall experience (1-5)?
-How long did it take you to set up?
-How long did your games last on average?
-How many times did you play?
-How does it compare to similar games you have played?
--How is it similar?
--How is it different?
-Were the Rules well organized?
-On a scale of 1-5 how clear were the rules for;
--Setup
--Turn Sequence
--Player Actions
--Win/Lose Conditions
--Overall
-Was anything crucial missing from the rules?
-Did any part of the rules feel extraneous?
-Were there any areas of the game that stood out as exciting/engaging/interesting (what did you like about it)?
-Were there any areas of the game that stood out as boring/unengaging/uninteresting (what did you dislike about it?)
-Did you have to adopt any house rules? If yes, why and for what?

thanks!
This post was helpful, and a good resource for aid in building a (blind) playtest questionnaire.
A couple of questions I've added to my own questionnaire:
- Tell me a little about yourself (education, hobbies, career, goals).
- How experienced are you with card games or board games?
Thanks again!
Awesome thank you guys, I appreciate it. Figured you would have some good insight :).
