Appendix B

Design Principles

This appendix contains a game design “cheat sheet” that synthesizes most of the most important development, user growth, and monetization lessons covered in this book. If you’re unclear on any of these principles, be sure to read the chapter in which that principle was first featured and covered in detail. At the end of each of the following lessons, I’ve included a cross-reference to the appropriate chapter.
