"Educators from Australia, Belgium, Estonia, Ireland, Germany, the UK, and the US describe the development and implementation of non-digital card games, board games, and live-action role-playing to supplement instruction in mutagenesis and evolution, astrobiology, antibiotic selection, chess for project-based learning, first-aid competencies, mobile learning, preschoolers' socioemotional development and body management, teaching acculturation, and adventure initiative games to build social competence and college retention. The settings for these games are also diverse - from pre-schools and elementary and secondary schools to universities and gaming conferences. Two chapters also deal with the importance of artistic design in developing and marketing games, with a reference to BoardGameGeek.com, a prime website with links to over 59,000 board games, reviews, and discussion forums.Summing Up: Recommended." - D.L. Stoloff, Eastern Connecticut State University, in CHOICE, June 2014"Got the ‘making digital games is too expensive for us’ blues? This inspiring collection of detailed post-mortems and case studies provides fresh and much-needed advice about how to make simple but engaging educational card, board, and athletic games based on the topics you care about most." - Jesse Schell, Distinguished Professor of Entertainment Technology, Carnegie Mellon University; CEO, Schell Games"New Traditional Games for Learning is a superb collection that takes games for learning back to their roots in non-digital games and play. The book spells out theory in practical terms, with lucid examples, and is a major contribution to the international, fast-growing games and learning movement." - James Paul Gee, Mary Lou Fulton Presidential Professor of Literacy Studies, Arizona State University
