0 Let's Play Our Way - Designing Flexibility into Card Game Systems - Gifford Cheung - Dissertation Defense /slideshow/lets-play-our-way-designing-flexibility-into-card-game-systems-gifford-cheung-dissertation-defense/38102690 defense-2-140818133106-phpapp01
In this dissertation, I explore the idea of designing "flexible game systems". A flexible game system allows players (not software designers) to decide on what rules to enforce, who enforces them, and when. I explore this in the context of digital card games and introduce two design strategies for promoting flexibility. The first strategy is "robustness". When players want to change the rules of a game, a robust system is able to resist extreme breakdowns that the new rule would provoke. The second is "versatility". A versatile system can accommodate multiple use-scenarios and can support them very well. To investigate these concepts, first, I engage in reflective design inquiry through the design and implementation of Card Board, a highly flexible digital card game system. Second, via a user study of Card Board, I analyze how players negotiate the rules of play, take ownership of the game experience, and communicate in the course of play. Through a thematic and grounded qualitative analysis, I derive rich descriptions of negotiation, play, and communication. I offer contributions that include criteria for flexibility with sub-principles of robustness and versatility, design recommendations for flexible systems, novel dimensions of design for gameplay and communications, and rich description of game play and rule-negotiation over flexible systems. A model of rule-negotiation is introduced as well as advancements in theory regarding unexpected use of software and socially-negotiated play.]]>
