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.
Key Features:
Fills a void in board game design theory by discussing theory-craft relating to theme in board game design
Presents practical theory for working designers or students
Focuses on developing the design skill of mechanical integration of theme rather than developing creative writing skills
