Several folks have emailed me to let me know they got shipping notices from Amazon for the huge backlog of orders of Theory of Fun for Game Design, and now I got one too!

What’s more, it shows as available (sales rank 6225, and #2 in the game programming category!), so if you have been waiting, go grab it now…!

It could use fresh reviews too, so once you get it, please do post reviews. 🙂

    Just got my note from Amazon saying it was shipped. I can’t believe I lent the original one and never got it back. I am so happy to finally have my own copy again.

    Hi, Raph.

    It’s awesome how internet can gather people together.

    I’m from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and I first read your book in the middle of 2007. Last year, myself and some friends started a blog about game design in portuguese. Your book was a great help understanding games and fun, and I still get back to it often. It’s great as an introductory book, and is also grat as quick reference for some concepts.

    As now I am aware of your blog (and twitter), I can thank you for the great book. I really recommend it to anyone who like to think about games.

    We made a little flash game based on your “tetris-pit” concept:

    It’s in portuguese, but I can help translating, if you really want it. 🙂

    Thanks again.

    Congrats, Raph!

    My book, Behavioral Mathematics for Game AI, is floating around in that new releases list as well… although I fear you are kicking my literary behind in that category. 😉

    I do have to admit, it is odd to receive an email from Amazon telling you that you might be interested in purchasing your own book!

    Raph, here I am holding my copy of your book. FINALLY! I’m adopting game aspects of ludology (game design) into pedagogy (learning design), so this is a must read for me. 🙂

    Finished reading it over the weekend. Wrote up a short review on my blog. I enjoyed the book Raph. It was worth the wait.
