An impassioned look at games and game design that offers the most
ambitious framework for understanding them to date. 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. Building an aesthetics of
interactive systems, Salen and Zimmerman define core concepts like
"play," "design," and "interactivity." They look at games through a
series of eighteen "game design schemas," or conceptual frameworks,
including games as systems of emergence and information, as
contexts for social play, as a storytelling medium, and as sites of
cultural resistance. Written for game scholars, game developers,
and interactive designers, Rules of Play is a textbook, reference
book, and theoretical guide. It is the first comprehensive attempt
to establish a solid theoretical framework for the emerging
discipline of game design.
