Rules
of Play Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman As pop
culture, games are as important as film or television--but game design
has yet to develop a theoretical framework or critical vocabulary. In
Rules of Play Katie Salen and Eric
Zimmerman present a much-needed primer for this emerging field. They
offer a unified model for looking at all kinds of games, from board
games and sports to computer and video games. As active participants
in game culture, the authors have written Rules of Play as a catalyst
for innovation, filled with new concepts, strategies, and methodologies
for creating and understanding games. |
