Rohrer hasn't played it himself, he says No playtesting? Probably isn't going to be very good, then.

  5th paragraph of the article. "To accomplish that, Rohrer first built the game in computer form, designing a set of rules that would be playtested not by a human, but by an artificial intelligence. He said he plugged the game's rules into a "black box," letting the AI find imbalances, iterating new rules and repeating. Rohrer showed the video game version of his board game onscreen, but obscured key portions of the board game's layout, so no one in attendance could reverse engineer its mechanics."

    That's just testing, not playtesting, in my opinion.
