A really good primer in game design. It covers a lot of things with enough deep to get familiar with the topics but not too much content. Covers from designing mechanics to level design and gameplay balancing.

This is a review of the 2023 second edition, this book gives a solid introduction, but you will need other works depending on game and platform type. Not for rank beginners but is useful for junior programmers in many fields.
