Theory Of Fun For Game Design
by Koster, Raph
It's about
- What fun is
- Why some games are fun and some games are boring
- How different people respond to different kinds of fun
- What makes a game fun or not
- How games fit into the wider human culture
- Whether games can be art
- What degree of social responsibility game makers need to have
- How games can develop
At its core, though, it is about why games matter.
