Action points in games

For those in the USA, happy July 4. Action points are a way to constrain how much a player can do without limiting the choice of what the gamer can do. I much prefer this to "card-driven" games.

From 2016 - from another unreleased course.

New free video every Monday and Thursday, 11AM Eastern time. Monday videos may not have any obvious connection to game design. All of the Thursday videos are about game design. Sometimes my videos are contemporary "talking head", sometimes "visually nostalgic" talk over slides. Something for everyone!

Please hit the like button if you liked this, evidently it helps with the YouTube search algorithm. And please subscribe if you have not already. Hit the bell if you want notification of new videos. You can also make a one-time contribution at buymeacoff.ee/lewpuls2

This channel exists only because of support from my patrons (there is no advertising revenue for me). Please help me pay the bills for this free information: contribute as little as $1 a month. My Patreon is at:

Supporters receive an exclusive "inside look" about the business that I write each month. They also get to view videos and articles that are not publicly available.

My thanks for the generous support from Mrnapoleon01, HarryK, cj_mount, Jeff Dee, and others. And *especially*, Mike Anthony.

Or, new, a one-time contribution is possible through BuyMeaCoffee: buymeacoff.ee/lewpuls2
