Knobscape: The design space of control knobs you've built into your game. So you can tune it non-destructively as you get more information about gameplay.
High level game design is as much about designing the appropriate knobscape as it is about designing the moment-to-moment gameplay. Get the knobscape right and you'll eventually get the the gameplay right. Get it wrong and you'll never converge.
An intentionally horrible word.
