You suck at Minecraft. Other people always seem to find your base, your poor character is always starving if it isn’t riddled with arrows from skeletons and your creations are constantly potholed by creepers. Don’t even get me started on hand to hand combat - you always lose - even to your 6 year old cousin.
But it’s not as bad as it seems. There is hope. You, unlike the teeming mass of noobs who are failing to etch out a miserable existence on Minecraft servers throughout the universe, are smart enough to do a bit of research to see how you can improve. You’re failures have made you strong, and your resolve will lead you to dominate Minecraft (with a bit of practice of course).
If you stick with me through this guide I promise you’ll be a better Minecraft player. I put this guide together after watching hundreds of Minecraft noobs fail to make it past the dirt hut stage. The truth is, everyone began as a noob....But it's up to you if you want to change that.
Read this guide to learn the secrets that the masters of Minecraft don't want you to know.

Anyone can master the fundamentals of game design - no technological expertise is necessary. The Art of Game Design: A Book of Lenses shows that the same basic principles of psychology that work for board games, card games and athletic games also are the keys to making top-quality videogames. Good game design happens when you view your game from many different perspectives, or lenses. While touring through the unusual territory that is game design, this book gives the reader one hundred of these lenses - one hundred sets of insightful questions to ask yourself that will help make your game better. These lenses are gathered from fields as diverse as psychology, architecture, music, visual design, film, software engineering, theme park design, mathematics, writing, puzzle design, and anthropology. Anyone who reads this book will be inspired to become a better game designer - and will understand how to do it.
* Jesse Schell is a highly recognizable name within the game industry - he is the former chair of the International Game Developer's Association, and has designed many successful games, including Disney's award-winning Toontown Online.
* The book's design methodology was developed at Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center, co-founded by Dr. Randy Pausch of "Last Lecture" fame.

These interactive games are quick to learn but will provide hours of fun and learning for your child.
