书籍介绍
翻开这本书，你或许会带着设计一款游戏的期待，却会发现它更像一份关于'游戏究竟是什么'的宣言书。两位作者的核心野心，是替一个尚未成年的学科建立 vocabulary——他们不教你关卡怎么排布、数值怎么调，而是试图回答：规则、互动与玩乐之间，究竟生成了什么？这种'用游戏来理解文化、沟通与美学'的视角，在读者中激起的分歧恰恰印证了它的立场：有人视其为游戏研究的学术范本，也有人抱怨'废话太多、不够深入'。它适合那些不满足于'好玩'、而想追问好玩背后机制的人；也适合游戏化热潮中保持清醒、拒绝空谈的从业者。它不是一本工具手册，而是一副试图整合社会学、心理学、数学等多重视角的镜片——戴上它，你看待桌游、体育、电子游戏的方式会悄然改变。
AI导读
核心看点
  • 构建游戏设计理论框架与批判性词汇
  • 提供从桌游到电子游戏的统一分析模型
  • 通过十八个概念框架解析游戏核心要素
读者共识
  • 游戏设计领域的经典入门教材与理论基石
  • 概念定义清晰，但缺乏具体落地的方法论
  • 学术价值高，追求快速实操者可能会觉得枯燥
精彩摘录
  • "Social theorist Clark C. Abt makes a powerful suggestion. In his claim that a game is a particular way of looking at something, at anything, we find inspiration for our own approach to game design. How can we use games as a way to understand aesthetics, communication, culture, and other areas of our"
  • "Games too, share in this degree of complexity. As products of human culture, games fulfill a range of needs, desires, pleasures, and uses. As products of design culture, games reflect a host of technological, material, formal, and economic concerns. It would be ineffective (and even silly) to try an"
  • "In fact, from certain angles this book appears to have the burning impatience of a manifesto. What is the nature of this impatience? To some extent it is the frustration of workers who are asked to build a cathedral using only a toothbrush and a staplegun. Games are remarkably complex, both in their"
  • "As game designers, have we fully taken into account the implications of this revolutionary act? Do we really understand the medium in which we work or the field of design to which we belong? Can we articulate what it is that generates meaningful play in any game, whether a video game, a board game, "
  • "The truth? Not yet. Compare game design to other forms of design, such as architecture or graphic design. Because of its status as an emerging discipline, game design hasn't yet crystallized as a field of inquiry. It doesn't have its own section in the library or bookstore. You can't (with a few exc"

读的是天之虹的翻译版，算是读过吧。
我的启蒙读物
这是本游戏研究的书，并不是游戏设计的书。喜欢从不同学科角度剖析游戏是什么的推荐阅读。
作为基础概念的汇总和入门级教科书来说是很经典了。
比号召游戏化的垃圾畅销书好多了
看的英文版，以定义开始研讨，然后各种学术理论为依据，章尾再以例子说明，但游戏可能太久了， 比较难提起兴趣看。最后的结果就是，看summary的部分了解结论。确实没有太多可直接用来设计的东西，一些规则，不是细则。
毕业论文感谢您
游戏、规则、玩乐、文化，所讨论的话题有所筛选，又足够全面。
游戏叙事研究的学术范本。但Zimmerman的游戏研究还是没能脱离文本叙事的拐杖。Gonzalo Frasca的Ludology在我看来更适合游戏研究的理论框架。
