    A Definitive Guide to the Process
  

*by N***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2018*

This book is not a "how to" that gives you a step by step process to follow from start of game to the finish. It does, however, offer up the very best explanation of the design and writing process one could ever hope to have.  The authors don't give you a set of mechanics to build around, they shouldn't have to.  They are giving you the general challenges that come once those mechanics are already in place.  Having gone through about 90% of this process on my own set of rules, I can attest to that first hand.The sections are laid out in an order that makes sense and the explanations given are straight to the point.  I love this approach because the bottom line is you either get it or you don't.  It's not much different from reading a book on how to write and produce your own song. You either have that creative spark, or you don't. The authors are both veteran rules writers and game designers and it is evident they have their process down pat.  They touch on subjects that take you along the whole path of creating a set of rules, not just the writing process. What I love most about this work is that it gives one the guideposts and theory but the actual work still lies with the individual.Ironically, I would not appreciate the author's efforts as much if I had not already gone through the process myself in advance. I'd like to think that this would not be the case for the uninitiated.That being said, this book represents the one of the best treatises on modern tabletop war game design there is.

Great tips for anyone beginning to design tabletop games. It poses important design questions to keep in mind when creating a game for flow and tone of the game. This book gives general examples and points for different styles of tabletop games. If you are a hardcore gamer and worked on your own house rules then this book may fine tune some aspects of your games.

    Tabletop Advice more than Guidance.
  

*by W***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2017*

Some good advice but I would not say it was much of a guide. It talked about some pros and cons of game development but nothing I felt was revolutionary. Good explanations as to why certain approaches were taken and a few cautionary tales were included. I did not see the "guide" factor developed much though. Many of the chapters brought you up to a basic understanding but then left you to figure out where to go from there. A decent read from excellent authors in the field.
