Surprise is so basic that we can easily forget about it. Use this lens to remind yourself to fill your game with interesting surprises. Ask yourself these questions:
What will surprise players when they play my game?
Does the story in my game have surprises? Do the game rules? Artwork? Technology?
Do your rules give players ways to surprise each other?
Do your rules give ways for players to surprise themselves?
Surprise is a crucial part of all entertainment - it is the root of all humor, strategy, and problem solving. Our brains are hardwired to enjoy surprises - find ways to incorporate them into your game!
