IGDA has just released their brand new updated 2006 Casual Games White Paper. The white paper is an absolutely excellent resource for developers and even researchers interested in casual games. Get it. It’s free.

My name is Jesper Juul, and I am a Ludologist [researcher of the design, meaning, culture, and politics of games]. This is my blog on game research and other important things.
Thanks Jesper, we’re all very happy with the feedback the paper has gotten thus far.
One quick note though, the paper isn’t quite free. We’re asking for anyone who is able to find value in the paper to return the favor by contributing back to the community knowledge about casual games. This is why we’ve mirrored the entire content of the paper on the IGDA wiki: http://www.igda.org/wiki/index.php/Casual_Games_SIG/Whitepaper :)
