Making social games that actually have strategy has been a challenging problem. What can be used from traditional games and what has to be morphed to work for social games? How can you make a game where the strategy isn't just "more is better" but is still compatible with social play patterns? How do you balance monetization, retention, virality, fun, and strategy? By using examples from the social and mobile space, this talk will go over a few core design concepts that Dan has formulated as he made his transition from traditional to social games.
