Is there a good book on the design of board and card games?
I liked the first few slides, reminded me of OODA loop models. But the rest.. I mean I get the connection between for eg knapsack problem and inventory style games, but it doesn’t get at what makes particular knapsacks interesting for eg. But perhaps that’s too domain specific?

Like I’m aware of a result that Tetris with only z and S pieces is np hard so Tetris tuning knob becomes percentage of those pieces. But are there principles for coming up with those 6 tiles (s, z, L, J, I, T, o) as a great game set?

In the case of Tetris, it’s literally every permutation of four units. Five would be too many, three is trivial. And board size matters too. So yeah, there’s a significant tuning factor even once you identify the problem, defining the extent of the problem.
