Game Resources
Game resources play much the same
role as resources play in real life.
A game designer must consider:
Manage resources
Control access
Replenish
Destroy

Game Resources
Designers must plan how players find or
earn resources needed to stay alive and
healthy and ultimately win the game.
Games are designed around unequal
distribution of resources.
Unequal distribution of resources creates
conflict and tension.

GAME BOUNDARIES
Game Boundaries
Boundaries are what
separate the game from
everything that is not the
game.
Can be physical like the
edge of an arena, playing
field, or game board.
Can be conceptual social
agreement to play.

Game Boundaries
Why important:
Game Boundaries
Serve as a way to
separate everything
that goes on in the
game from daily life.
While you may act the part of a cutthroat opponent against your best friend
within the boundaries of the game, you
can shake hands at the end of the game
and walk away without any real harm to
your friendship.
