The gaming manual needs to have instructions on how to play the game so the player understands what to do with the control buttons. It must also contain the copyrights as well in the front page with all of the companies’ details such as contact details, the location and who sponsors them. The label has to be attractive the human eye so they think that the game is worth buying. Use and experiment with different fonts and with other materials to make the game look eye-catching.
