Description
Over the years, board games have evolved to include relatable characters, vivid settings and compelling, intricate plotlines. In turn, players have become more emotionally involved-taking on, in essence, the role of coauthors in an interactive narrative.
Through the lens of game studies and narratology-traditional storytelling concepts applied to the gaming world-this book explores the synergy of board games, designers and players in story-oriented designs. The author provides development guidance for game designers and recommends games to explore for hobby players.
