It’s Here: Challenges for Game Designers
2008 August 29
The book that Ian Schreiber and I wrote over the last year is here: Challenges for Game Designers. Those of you who had the book on pre-order will be glad to know that it’s shipped from Amazon… and thank you!
The book is shockingly inexpensive on purpose. It’s about $16 on amazon last time I looked. We wrote the book as a text to get people moving and creating their own game designs, either on their own or as part of a game design team. The book has almost 300 separate game design challenges in it – 15 per chapter. Each chapter includes lots of content overview to give you well on your well.
I’ve already pre-orderd mine. The sad part is that it’s due on September 29th.
But that’s the way importing is… *sigh*
I can’t tell how much anxious I am to laying my hand on it.
Can’t wait to get this. I just realized I only have one die, a sharpie, and a couple of dozen Meeples…and a half finished prototype made out of paper tiles and cardboard. I definitey need to order a bunch of board-game parts. Was it it here that I once saw a link to a website that sold cheap wooden pegs and things?
Ah ha! http://www.craftparts.com ..hidden under the “General” category.
Ordering mine when I get back to Savannah. Looking forward to finally having it.
Woot! I was hoping to maybe find a copy for sale at PAX, but no luck. It looks like I’ll be ordering this one this week. Congrats to both yourself and Ian! Looking forward to reading it!
My copy arrived and I’m at the first challenge! I’ll let you know how it goes
Yes! It has arrived! Finally!!!!
