Game Elements

I found the main article on the week four reading page quite insightful. It gave a good basic introduction to atomic game elements like players, objectives, rules, resources, game state, information, sequencing, player interaction and theme and how they come together to form a game system. Finding out how these different elements can work together in so many different was, with the slightest change dramatically changing how a game works was fascinating. I also found the information on critical analysis very helpful. I've never really done critical analysis, so with the questions and points listed, it should be easier from now on.

(A game system. Found here.)

I could not read any other article because the link was not working.
