7-7-7 Rule for Game Design offers a compelling take on Game Design, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Creative Strategy is excellent, I found the sections on Mechanics and Systems less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Game Design that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Design Frameworks more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Prototyping will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Game Design, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved 7-7-7 Rule for Game Design! It completely changed my perspective on Game Design. At first I wasn't sure about Game Design, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Creative Strategy is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Indie Game Design. What I appreciated most was how the book made Creative Strategy feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
