Storytelling in the Modern Board Game : Narrative Trends from the Late 1960s to Today, Paperback / softback Book

Storytelling in the Modern Board Game : Narrative Trends from the Late 1960s to Today Paperback / softback

Edited by Matthew Wilhelm Kapell

Part of the Studies in Gaming series

Paperback / softback

Description

Over the years, board games have evolved to include relatable characters, vivid settings and compelling, intricate plotlines.

In turn, players have become more emotionally involved—taking on, in essence, the role of coauthors in an interactive narrative. Through the lens of game studies and narratology—traditional storytelling concepts applied to the gaming world—this book explores the synergy of board games, designers and players in story-oriented designs.

The author provides development guidance for game designers and recommends games to explore for hobby players.
