[game_edu] New Book on Game Design

[George D. Phillies]

However, this is a book on the design of board wargames, which use many 
clever rules mechanisms.

My message is that someone who wants to be a good artist studies all sorts 
of things that are not just brush, paint, and convas, because the study 
makes the student a better painter.  Equally here, I maintain that the 
study of other types of games makes students into better designers of 
computer games.
