I thought maybe this was posted here before, but couldn't find reference to it in search. Games Seeds is a card game made to help players design games and characters.

http://www.gameseeds.net/
http://kotaku.com/5530433/the-building-blocks-of-video-games

It lists a lot of different components for gameplay on it's cards, helping two teams of players brainstorm a game and it's characters. The ideas are then pitched and voted on by all players to find the winner.

I've often wondered if game design could be broken up into a list of basic components which all games stem from, like the Hero's Journey concept does for story writing. I'm not sure if that was the intent of this card game, but it seems close. I feel like there may be more elements then the cards cover, however.

Ordered. Looks like it's probably not a great game, but an interesting resource. Always nice to find new ways of thinking about design.

Wow, this looks pretty good. My friend has expressed interest in helping me develop games after my current project, he just hasn't quite thought of what game to make - this seems perfect for us!

€10 is about £9, right? I'll definitely be ordering this soon then. Does it ship to the United Kingdom?

I got my copy and immediately gave it to a friend that teaches game design. He ordered another one to return to me when (if) it arrives.
