Appendix:

John's 9 Design Points

1. Goal(s). Design starts with objectives.

2. Structure. (Not in his list!) What is the essential nature of your set of learning objectives and how can that show up in the game?

3. Strategy. These three have to go into the primary design phase as well, or the game will just not have them.

4. Interaction.

5. Surprise.

6. Catch-Up. As you start to playtest, these two are important to attend to for good design.

7. Inertia.

8. Rules. For me this comes late; kind of a synthesis step as you think about how to communicate the game. It will often result in design revision, though.

9. Context: Fun-Flavor-Hook. To me this can't really be evaluated fully till you're out with the intended audience. You need a first take on this before that, but should be open to major changes in this area.
