# Principles
* Experience something
* Express something
* Prove something

* 1: Fighting against human nature is a losing game
* 2: Aesthetics matter
* 3: Resonance is important
* 4: Make use of piggybacking
* 5: Don't confuse "interesting" with "fun"
* 6: Understand what emotion your game is trying to evoke
* 7: Allow the players the skill to make the game personal
* 8: The details are where the players fall in love with your game
* 9: Allow your players to have a sense of ownership
* 10: Leave room for the player to explore
* 11: If everyone likes your game, but no one loves it, it will fail
* 12: Don't design to prove you can do something
* 13: Make the fun part also the correct strategy to win
* 14: Don't be afraid to be blunt
* 15: Design the component for its intended audience
* 16: Be more afraid of boring your players than challenging them
* 17: You don't have to change much to change everything
* 18: Restrictions breed creativity
* 19: Your audience is good at recognizing problems and bad at solving them
* 20: All the lessons connect
