Economists would probably get a lot of enjoyment from reading about what game designers do, incentive is such a big factor for a successful game.


If you wanna talk about incentives, board games are the place to be. There's no shiny graphics and baubles to use as crutches for a stale design (or not nearly to the same degree as video games).
