The Importance of Surprise in Games

I talked to James Ernest recently and one of the main things that creates fun in games is surprise. So I'm really leaning into how can you utilize surprise in your games in the mechanisms because that's where a lot of like the oh wow kind of moments can come from. Having uncertainty decisions under uncertainty or in risks are some of the most enjoyable things I think out there in games yeah absolutely. rolling move I'm sure in this day and age you can make a fantastic rolling move if you work it into the the theme and the mechanistic supporting mechanisms would make that work so don't don't don’t  think deterministic things are intrinsically better than things.
