The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses (2nd Edition) - Paperback | Game Development Guide for Designers & Developers | Perfect for Game Design Classes & Creative Inspiration

What Jesse does with this book is ask important questions that are pertinent to nearly every game. The other thing he does is create a clear and concise vocabulary for those elements of a game that maybe intuitive to us as designers, but perhaps is not articulated that well in our own minds. This clear vocabulary is empowering, as it enables a designer to more easily think about the elements of their game, and in addition, to add to the foundation that Jesse has already put together. We as game designers are thus able to leap-frog far ahead in terms of how we think about our games. An excellent book by an obviously very thoughtful and intelligent person.
