The Lens of Action

To use this lens, think about what your players can do and what they can’t, and why. Ask yourself these questions:

  • What are the operational actions in my game?
  • What are the resultant actions?
  • What resultant actions would I like to see? How can I change my game in order to make those possible?
  • Am I happy with the ratio of resultant to operational actions?
  • What actions to the players wish they could do in my game that they cannot? Can I somehow enable these, either as operational or resultant actions?
