We've all heard stories about poker players grinding it out for two days straight. Believe me; I've got stories like that of my own.

The last 10% of game design is really what separates the good games from the great games. It's what I call the clean-up phase of game design. Here's where you make sure all the elements look great. The game should look good, feel good, sound good, play good.
