First off, thank you for mentioning the book - the Building Blocks of Tabletop Game Design - that Geoff and I wrote. It's now available for pre-order, and should be out some time this summer. https://www.amazon.com/Building-Blocks-Tabletop-Game-Design/dp/1138365491/ It will offer readers a shortcut for learning about lots of mechanisms, and will help trace how basic ideas like Worker Placement get elaborated on by later designs.

I loved the too-brief conversation about playtesting that happened towards the end. To me, playtesting is the most opaque part of the craft and work of game design. I'm hoping to write my next book on the subject to help shed more light on how it works. From interviews and preliminary research, one thing I'm learning is that there are many ways to do it, and lots of different types of playtesting. The practice itself evolves along with the design.

Not precisely, no. I own Level Up! The Guide to Great Video Game Design which is pretty good, and does cover some building block mechanic type stuff. But it also has a lot on character design, story, and craft (like game design documents and stuff) as well.
