12Whose turn does the heading show?13What does the screen say the roll is doing?14What do you expect one press on Attack to do in this moment?15What evidence in the still tells you whether you can issue an attack?16What public fact would help you decide whether to commit to an action?17What should still be unknown before the game releases the roll?18Which gallery example puts the information you need closest to this decision?

4. Tell whether it happened

19What were you still unsure of after the first press?20What could the menu show immediately to acknowledge that press?21What visible detail would convince you the intended destination had opened?22If you looked back after the battle animation ended, what would let you identify the actual result?23Which gallery example would you star for the kind of confirmation you need?

Use one control and one input device. If you have only a still or a paper mockup, say which results are still untested.

What was it like for you?

How did acting on your prediction feel compared with making it?

Try this question on three Snake Eyes screens

Finish your first prediction, then choose a screen. Describe one cue, one thing you did and how that moment felt.

Use Back from a settled destination on your usual controls. How ready did you feel to navigate again from the row where you landed?

WATCH AT YOUR DESK

Try this first look on your own. After recording your prediction, compare it with the clip.

Section plan · about 12–24 minutes

Hold everything except the proposal steady

Choose the estate or arena. Keep the actor or destination, starting focus, label and device fixed. On one pass predict the next effect before acting. Record your first input, the acknowledgment and the settled state. If working on paper, cover the outcome until you have spoken. Treat a later run on a different state separately.

Bring back · A small before-and-after record with one predicted fact, one visible change and one uncertainty. Mark whether it was a paper exercise, an editor practice host or a packaged run.
