Within the field of game design, game balance can best be described
as a black art. It is the process by which game designers make a game
simultaneously fair for players while providing them just the right
amount of difficulty to be both exciting and challenging without making
the game entirely predictable. This involves a combination of
mathematics, psychology, and occasionally other fields such as economics
and game theory.
Game Balance offers readers a dynamic
look into game design and player theory. Throughout the book, relevant
topics on the use of spreadsheet programs will be included in each
chapter. This book therefore doubles as a useful reference on Microsoft
Excel, Google Spreadsheets, and other spreadsheet programs and their
uses for game designers.
