I would start with Game Theory.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_theory

and math, lots and lots of math.

Also, there’s the experimental gameplay project: http://www.experimentalgameplay.com/

but—are you looking to make card games, dice games, computer games, board games?

I’m sorry, computer games. Like NASCAR racing, grand theft auto, football, etc.

Most game development sites are about how to program games rather than how to design them. There are many sites out there.

Which kind of games? For computer games, you could browse through gamasutra.com. For board games I’d suggest looking through the boardgamegeek.com forums. For roleplaying games, try rpg.net and their game design forums.

You should check out Pangea Software’s free book about Game Development (if you use Mac)

This probably isn’t what your looking for, but I enjoy creating games on it. http://www.sploder.com/free-game-creator.php
