All games can be broken down into building blocks that Daniels calls mechanics. Once readers understand the basic mechanics, they can customize those building blocks to make their own board games -- or card games or pencil-and-paper games or any other kind of games!
Reading about these game mechanics was mind blowing as I realized that all my favorite board games are pretty much the same game. Daniels breaks games down in a way that is simple without becoming boring because he also talks about the creative design aspects of making games. I also appreciate the plugs for good sportsmanship, especially for the target audience.
