Where can I ask about (non-computer) game design? Particularly concerning educational games?

Question

Is there a Stackexchange site where I can ask questions concerning:

• Game design (non-computer games)

• Gamification (e.g. within educational games)

• References / studies which mechanisms make a game popular

• Basic rules to consider in game design

I was thinking (depending on the exact question) maybe on the psychology site? Or for gamification within educational (math) games maybe on the mathematical education page?

Are there relevant sites that I miss? Or is there still a gap and there is not yet a suitable site?

Answer 1

There is also a Board and Card Games site might be an option, though it seems to be primarily focused on existing games. The help page says that game design questions are on-topic:

Board and Card Games Stack Exchange is for expert Q&A from people who like playing, discussing the strategy of, and getting rules clarifications of board games, designing board games or modifying the rules of existing board games.

The game-design tag only has 177 questions, however, so it might not be the best environment for quick answers. Still, the few questions there seem to have answers and high scores, so it might be more of a deficit of game-design questions rather than a deficit of experience.

Answer 2

There is a gamedev site. That allows questions on

game design (level design, gameplay, mechanics, etc)

It has a gamification tag

Be careful though because it is for video or computer games, If you aren't creating video or computer games, your questions would need to be sufficiently generic that they could apply to computer games as well. For instance this question about terminology does seem to have gone down OK even though it doesn't mention computers at all.

Questions asking for references/studies are unlikely to go down well anywhere because we don't really allow questions like that on any site as they tend to attract spam answers.
