Abstract:
|
"Modern tabletop board games are challenging for new players to learn because of the complexity of the rules, physical components, and implied player interactions. All of these components play a role in the complex systems that the player has to understand in order to learn how to play a game and experience the emergent gameplay that was designed. By using three-dimensional interfaces and gameplay tutorials that provide a sense of player agency, board games can be easier to learn in a digital form. Steven Johnson states that 'emergence arises out of complexity.' This complexity can lead to accessibility issues for a new player and can discourage the player from breaking through this wall of systems to play the game. By using a digital environment, these complex game systems found in board games can be illustrated in a meaningful way and enable the gameplay to be more accessible for the new player learning how to play the game."
