In the context of a complex world, the book emphasises the inadequacies of current educational methods and the potential of game-based learning to foster collective problem-solving skills. It then traces the historical roots of analogue and tangible games, highlighting their potential and challenges in alignment with several learning theories. The authors explore the psychology of analogue game-based learning, exploring its impact on cognition, motivation and, potentially, skill transfer to real life situations. They focus strongly on designing effective learning games, emphasising principles of game design, the TEGA initiative and common pitfalls to avoid. Ultimately, the book emphasises the importance of inclusivity in game-based learning, addressing barriers, intersectionality, and accessible design features both for commercial and educational games, and highlighting the ethical and pedagogical significance of fostering diverse and inclusive learning environments. The book will be of interest to researchers and students of education-related topics, particularly instructional design, pedagogical, and psychology, as well as enthusiasts from game studies and related practitioners.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSara Rye\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Project Management for Development at the University of Bradford, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMicael Sousa\u003c\/strong\u003e is a postdoctoral researcher in the Spatial Dynamics Lab, School of Architecture, Planning and Environmental Policy, University College Dublin, Ireland.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarla Sousa\u003c\/strong\u003e is a researcher and professor in Media Studies and Psychology at Lusófona University, Portugal.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e01 February 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783031785252\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback \/ softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e239\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51033110446220,"sku":"9783031785252","price":161.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031785252.jpg?v=1782488020","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783031785252","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
