hi,
I am doing some reasearch about board games and I thought that maybe there is someone here that knows where can I find articles about design theory and psychology of board games. Maybe a site or recommandation on a book.
Thank you for helping.

A Theory of Fun for Game Design
Is a great book by Raph Koster. It examines how the mind works in regards to fun and how to apply that to game design.

Jonathan Degann's Game Theory 101
These articles by Jonathan Degann form the core of my own design efforts. I go back and re-read them every few months, and usually wind up learning something new from them that I missed the last time through:
Game Theory 101: Story Arc
Game Theory 101: The Bomb
Game Theory 101: The Agonizing Decision
Game Theory 101: Nervous Systems
