Quickstart Guide to Game Design offers a compelling take on Game Design, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Game Development Basics is excellent, I found the sections on Programming less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Educational Games that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Design Principles more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Beginner Coding will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Interactive Design, if not the definitive work.
