Building Blocks of Tabletop Game Design: An Encyclopedia of Mechanisms (Engelstein Geoffrey)(Paperback)

If games were lands to be explored, they would be far too large for one explorer to master. Building Blocks of Tabletop Game Design is a much-needed atlas for the explorer--giving a framework of what to look for in a game, and a focus for game play that will be useful for understanding the whole. The game scholar will find this invaluable.--Richard Garfield, creator of Magic: The Gathering People talk about the art of game design or the craft of game design. Engelstein and Shalev hone in on the science of game design with a razor-sharp scalpel. This book will be within arm's reach as I work on games and I expect it to be consulted often.--Rob Daviau, creator of Risk: Legacy and Chief Restoration Officer of Restoration GamesThe most comprehensive and well-researched encyclopedia of game mechanisms that I've seen to date.--Matt
