Quickstart Guide to Game Design is a comprehensive exploration of Game Design that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 8 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 3's discussion of Interactive Design is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that some examples felt dated, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

While Quickstart Guide to Game Design makes several valuable points about Interactive Design, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of Project-Based Learning seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to Creative Programming. That said, the sections on Game Development Basics are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in Educational Games, this could be a truly outstanding work.

Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of Game Design, which offers a compelling framework for understanding Educational Games. While some may argue that Game Design, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about Game Design.
