A Design Space For Meaningful Structural Gamification

Gamification design is a complex process. Existing gameful design methods generally focus on high level motivational considerations. In order to provide designers with the tools to create meaningful and motivating game elements, we propose a design space that encapsulates lower-level design decisions, such as visual and operational aspects, during the design process. We also propose a set of design cards and a board that aim to support the design process for collaborative design sessions.
