Publisher's description: 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
