The ultimate Why, What and How of game design.

'Designing Meaningful Play' offers a transmedial approach to the art of creating play experiences. Games and play continue to gain importance in our daily lives, not only as entertainment but also for application in sectors such as education, welfare and management. In this book the authors provide a big game design approach to games and the possible use of different media: games, stories, music and everything else you can find to inform your design. The book takes you step by step through the why, what and how of play design in four parts: games and play in society; the essence of play design; the design approaches and principles underpinning play design; and a readers' guide into the action of creating game experiences.
