Editing MechanicsThatCombine

One one hand, SimpleAsPossible. On the other, large game spaces create MeaningfulChoices and EmergentStrategies. These goals pull in opposite directions. One possible resolution is a small number of mechanics that combine and play off of each other in interesting ways. This idea comes from ["Alan Patmore"] in ["Game Design: SotS"]: "The best games are usually based on five or six play mechanics that, when combined, create the basis for the majority of the game." Therefore, develop a small set of core mechanics that play off each other in implicit/indirect rather than explicit or direct ways. ---- CategoryGoodIdea | CategoryNeedsWork
