I would like to be able to go to a website, if any, and submit the
features of the Board Game I am finalizing, and be assessed as far as
strengths or weaknesses, eventual suggestions, possible new avenues,
or any other "enhancements" which could optimize the 'perfectness' of
my Game!

Dear jojone-ga
This is an interesting one! To use the jargon, it sounds like you need
some people to play test your game. I've found one company:
www.toysngames.com
Click on Inventors> sub heading> Play testing. They offer focus group
testing and market opinion.

You haven't said which type of game. The following specialise in
testing historical games:
http://www.arretworks.com/arretworksmainmenu.htm

For assistance, I found loads of links and advice on all aspects of
game inventing at these sites:
http://boardgames.about.com/cs/designcompanies/
http://boardgames.about.com/msub6.htm
http://boardgames.about.com/cs/designerarticles/
There is also a link to a yahoo discussion group on game inventing
which may be useful source of information.

Good luck in your testing. Do not hesitate to ask for any
clarification of this answer.

You could also check into www.centercode.com they do a lot of beta
testing not just with computers and they are very reliable
