Vincent,
In case someone hasn't already recommended these books to you, please, let me commend Rules of Play by Salen and Zimmerman and The Art of Game Design by Jesse Schell. Since you're thinking a lot about design right now, I think you might find that these books give words to the things that you're saying. For example, I heard about the "magic circle" in Rules of Play.
