The two key elements to every game are "theme" and "mechanics". Ironically, these elements are more often at war with each other during the game design process than in harmonious accord. Join IIGoH, Andrew Parks as he discusses the importance of theme in games, and whether a design should begin or end with its theme. He will also discuss different genres of games and how theme is more or less central to each genre.
