Makers … make things. And one thing that makers make is things you can play with. This edition of MUSE Magazine gives you a detailed look at how makers make boardgames, videogames, and physical games!
According to the boardgame makers, there are three keys to fun: an objective, the rules, and the ability to make choices. See how these three keys come together to create all the meaningful and fun games we play. Plus, learn how physical sports manages to balance rules and fun, and get to know some innovators behind the videogames we play and love—and see how videogames help level a world with various levels of abilities.
