Game Design Classics - Must-Read Books

July 24, 2020Updated Feb 17, 2026

Game industry classics: Jesse Schell's "The Art of Game Design" and Raph Koster's "A Theory of Fun." These are considered canonical texts in the game industry. After reading these books, I realized that games are like practice for life without real consequences. Excellent reads worth revisiting.
