Some things we’ve learned at GDLFUN
• Easy to learn• Not a lot of wait Kme• Story or theme based• Not too much info at once• I have to respond• I have a role• I’m expecKng to play• I can improve• Clear goals• Challenging (enough)
NOT SO FUN
• High barrier to entry• Makes me feel stupid• Rules or technology I don’t get• Overwhelming info• Lots of wasted Kme• My skills aren’t needed• I’m surprised or taken off guard• Someone spoonfeeds me• I feel like I can’t win• Convoluted goals
