Analog Gameplay Exercises improving Game Analysis Skill

Abstract

The rules of a game are set in order to provide the intended game experience. The relationship between the rules and the experience is the essence of the game, and clarifying this relationship leads to the analysis of the game. In this study, I devised an exercise to improve the ability to analyze games by playing analog games. This exercise has different goals for beginners and advanced learners of games, allowing them to learn step by step. In addition, the knowledge gained will be useful in setting up rules in accordance with the intentions of the participants when they create their own games.
