Abstract:
Using a Rules Template as an outline, Mike will explore the many design considerations
to keep in mind while developing a new game. Many video games have tutorials and most
can be played without reading the rules. But someone has to write the rulebook. The
game rules come from the game design itself. A confusing design will result in a
confusing rule book. Mike has 32 years of experience at Milton Bradley, TSR and Hasbro
as a designer and manager. He believes that many of the same principles apply to
designing any type of game.
