This can be one of your touchstone book you keep throughout your career. Practical advice and exercises for all without being too theoretical. For indies, it a great set of practical ideas to 'stress test' your design and to explore its edges for new opportunities in game play. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Full of great exercises to help you design games! *by A***R on December 29, 2015* This is an amazing book! If you want to learn about the best game designers and if you want exercises to help you generate game ideas, buy this book. It's a game designing curriculum that is helping me create an educational video game for my graduate research project. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A solid textbook on game design *by F***R on December 29, 2019* Fullerton has put together a well-focused and tightly structured textbook that guides readers through all relevant stages of game design. The chapters have a sharp focus, are clearly written, and contain useful exercises and further readings. Arguably one of the strongest elements are the sidebars by industry insiders, which provide reality checks and inspiration. I only had minor gripes, for instance that the digital version of the third edition is missing all cross references, or that the writing could have been checked better for industry jargon (what is it with design folks always 'planning out', 'mapping out', 'building out', etc? What ever happened to simply 'planning', 'mapping', or 'building' something?). But these are negligible caveats in an overall solid publication that I am more than happy to recommend to my own Games Studies students. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/5528141-game-design-workshop-a-playcentric-approach-to-creating-innovative-games](https://www.desertcart.no/products/5528141-game-design-workshop-a-playcentric-approach-to-creating-innovative-games) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
