Casual game mechanics allow game designers to engage with wide audiences
from dedicated gamers to people who don't even think they play games. But to
engage such a wide range of players with varying skills and interests, game
designers must pay special attention when crafting the core mechanics of
their games. In this webinar we will lay some ground rules for casual game
design and then look at a number of games that successfully deploy game
mechanics to engage the widest possible audience. Finally we will look at
how the ethos of casual game design can be applied to general interaction
design to make everyday life and even work into casual game-like
experiences.
