Design Stages - Stage 5 - Boneyard

Stage 5 of 5 of a Game Design. Not everything makes it to Spaceworthy, and sometimes, even when it does, the design moves on to Stage 5: the Boneyard. No art that is made can stay relevant forever. Sometimes you go back to the barn, and pull out a classic, dusting it off and taking it out for a spin. But design demands forward momentum, and that means knowing when a game is meant for retirement to the Boneyard.
