A lot of my work is on transformational games#, so check out the notes around that. Specifically designing transformational games
Books that talk about game design:
In terms of basic game design, the book everyone talks about is The Art of Game Design by Jesse Schell. In edugames, it’s The Transformational Framework by Sabrina Culyba. (Even for entertainment designers, I suggest reading it, since it gives you an interesting perspective on connecting with players). I’ve also heard good things about Tynan Sylvester’s Designing Games. For Game AI, there’s AI For Games by Ian Millington and Artificial Intelligence and Games by Georgios N. Yannakakis and Julian Togelius
For more casual resources, I’m a fan of Game Maker’s Toolkit and AI and Games on YouTube.
