Thematic Integration in Board Game Design (CRC Press Guides to Tabletop Game Design) by Sarah Shipp
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF reader, 10 MB
Overview: Theme is often described as the “why” of a game. Themes help with rules comprehension by giving reasons for the mechanics. Themes can help set players’ expectations for what kind of experiences or emotions the game provides. Themes can also help to create the experience and provide atmosphere to the gameplay. Thematic Integration in Board Game Design examines the design and integration of theme from the standpoints of technical structure, narrative building, and the design process. This book presents multiple approaches to designing theme as well as developing and replacing themes in existing projects. The focus is on developing the design skill of mechanical integration of theme rather than developing creative writing skills. Multiple guides and exercises are included that designers can reference at various points in the design process. Theme, as a game design term, is almost always discussed in relation to mechanics. Therefore, before an in-depth examination of theme as a concept, it is important to understand what board gamers mean when they say “mechanics.”
