Your Turn! The Guide to Great Tabletop Game Design – a new book written by game designer Scott Rogers – is now available now.
Aimed at both novices and professionals alike, You Turn! sees Rogers walk readers through the history, mechanics and methods of six different game genres. Readers follows along to create and change a game based on that genre – and by the end of the book, they will have created six original tabletop games.
Your Turn! also addresses how to license a game to a publisher, how to sell and market it via crowdfunding and what to look out for when negotiating contracts.
“It is an indispensable guide for any tabletop game designer,” said Rogers.
