Very good book; it's nice to have a lot of different ideas come from different designers. It really helps one broaden their perspective (!) on game design.


The real big plus for this book is that all of the articles are pretty small, so unlike Game Architecture and Design (a great, great book), you can read a small amount of pages in Game Design Perspectives and come away with a little more knowledge than you started with.
