Description:
As pop culture, games are as important as film or television--but game design has yet to develop a theoretical framework or critical vocabulary. In Rules of Play Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman present a much-needed primer for this emerging field. They offer a unified model for looking at all kinds of games, from board games and sports to computer and video games. As active participants in game culture, the authors have written Rules of Play as a catalyst for innovation, filled with new concepts, strategies, and methodologies for creating and understanding games..
Building an aesthetics of interactive systems, Salen and Zimmerman define core concepts like "play," "design," and "interactivity." They look at games through a series of eighteen "game design schemas," or conceptual frameworks, including games as systems of emergence and information, as contexts for social play, as a storytelling medium, and as sites of cultural resistance.
Written for game scholars, game developers, and interactive designers, Rules of Play is a textbook, reference book, and theoretical guide. It is the first comprehensive attempt to establish a solid theoretical framework for the emerging discipline of game design.
Katie Salen is a game designer, interactive designer, animator, and Director of Graduate Studies in Design and Technology, Parsons School of Design. She has taught at universities including MIT, the University of Texas, Parsons School of Design, New York University, Rhode Island School of Design, and School of Visual Arts.
Eric Zimmerman is a game designer, game design theorist, and co-founder and CEO of gameLab. He has taught at universities including MIT, the University of Texas, Parsons School of Design, New York University, Rhode Island School of Design, and the School of Visual Arts.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
《玩的規則》是由Katie Salen和Eric Zimmerman撰寫的一本書,它提供了遊戲設計領域所需的基礎知識。遊戲作為流行文化的一部分,與電影或電視劇一樣重要,但遊戲設計尚未發展出一個理論框架或批評詞彙。在這本書中,作者提供了一個統一的模型,用於觀察各種遊戲,從桌遊和體育遊戲到電腦和視頻遊戲。作為遊戲文化的積極參與者,作者們將《玩的規則》定位為創新的催化劑,充滿了創建和理解遊戲的新概念、策略和方法論。
Salen和Zimmerman在建立互動系統美學方面提出了核心概念,如“玩耍”、“設計”和“互動性”。他們通過一系列的18個“遊戲設計模式”或概念框架來觀察遊戲,包括遊戲作為出現和信息的系統、社交遊戲的背景、敘事媒介以及文化抵抗的場所。
《玩的規則》針對遊戲學者、遊戲開發者和互動設計師,是一本教科書、參考書和理論指南。它是建立新興遊戲設計學科的堅實理論框架的首次全面嘗試。
Katie Salen是一位遊戲設計師、互動設計師、動畫師,並擔任設計和技術研究研究生課程主任,就讀於帕森設計學院。她曾在麻省理工學院、德克薩斯大學、帕森設計學院、紐約大學、羅德島設計學院和視覺藝術學院等大學任教。
Eric Zimmerman是一位遊戲設計師、遊戲設計理論家,也是遊戲實驗室的聯合創始人兼首席執行官。他曾在麻省理工學院、德克薩斯大學、帕森設計學院、紐約大學、羅德島設計學院和視覺藝術學院等大學任教。
