Who wants a read this book with me? Starting January the 12th
Rules of Play – Game Design Fundamentals
This book has been on my shelf for ages. I have read other works of Salen and Zimmermann (or Katie and Eric) but not this book. THE book.
Even though it’s from 2004, because it’s about the Fundamentals I think it continues to be relevant and interesting.
Rules of Play has 4 units:
1. Core concepts
2. Rules
3. Play
4. Culture
and a game to play after each unit.
I propose we read a unit every two weeks and meet online / RL to discuss and play the game
