Board games

[Fathom Zero]

I'm trying to major in games and game design, specifically board games.

Multi-disciplinary studies - that sort of thing.

Anyone know any other books that would be helpful?

Have you read Playing to Win? Although it's written with video games in mind (specifically Street Fighter) the concepts apply to board games or any games really. Here's the initial article that was later expanded into the book.

The full book is also on that site and it's free to read.
