RULEBOOKS FOR ROOKIES: Lessons from Game Design, Graphic Design, and UX

Traditional games are a notoriously high-supply, low-demand market. It is precisely because game design is so appealing that many (rightfully so) want to try their hand at it.

With this illustrated guidebook, I hope to equip those designers, who have plenty of talent and inspiration, to properly express their potential. The goal is to move designers like you from rules you understand to rules players will, too - and then rules that players won’t just understand, but will fall in love with!
