I Also Stopped Reading Rules of Play

It happened! First The Game Design Reader! (a 900-page version of Rules of Play). And now Rules of Play! The "great" book on theories behind game design!

And yes, there are actual reasons I made up to stop reading it; and here they are:

Reason number 1: It was too long.
Reason number 2: It was too boring.
Reason number 3: Based on peekage into Jesse Schell's The Art of Game Design, most of the non-obvious info in Rules of Play appears to be in Schell's shorter, well-written book.

And there you have it. Rules of Play. Done! Now on to The Art of Game Design.
