Game Literacy is not often discussed in game design meetings, but it has a strong impact on the effectiveness of game design. Designing games without understanding the game literacy of your audience is like writing a book for people who can't understand your language without the assistance of a translator. This talk will cover different types of game literacy, its impact on game design, and how to design a game that matches the game literacy of your players.
