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 Design Thinking, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Game Design 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 Game Design. What I appreciated most was how the book made Design Frameworks feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

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