We'd have to play enough to have a firm grasp on the game and its mechanics. The goal of our play test group will alternately provide feedback to the designers regarding the rules, how it plays in practice, how enjoyable it is, and any potential game-breaking strategies or mechanics.
The designers asked me to get a group of between 3-6 people. Seeing as one of the games is 2 players and the other is a co-op game (2-4, probably), we'll be playing it amongst ourselves. We can include others (spouses, family members, friends, etc.), but I'll need to have those people sign NDAs beforehand.
