Pull up a chair and see how the world’s top game designers roll.

You want your games to be many things: Creative. Innovative. Playable. Fun. If you’re a designer, add “published” to that list.

Author Mike Selinker (Betrayal at House on the Hill) has invited some of the world’s most talented and experienced game designers to share their secrets on game conception, design, development, and presentation. In these pages, you’ll learn about storyboarding, balancing, prototyping, and playtesting from the best in the business.

Featuring a cover and interior art by John Kovalic, the book's 15 contributors include:

  • • Richard Garfield (Magic: The Gathering)

  • • Dale Yu (Dominion)
  • • James Ernest (Kill Doctor Lucky)
