Introduction to the Theory of Game Elements

This document introduces the theory of game elements, which conceptualizes games as systems made up of interacting parts called elements. It identifies two main categories of elements - systemic elements like components, environment, and rules, and behavioral elements like game play and players. Each element is described in detail, with examples provided. The theory aims to provide a framework for analyzing and designing games by examining how different configurations of elements produce unique game systems and experiences.
