“Do not train a child to learn
by force or harshness; but
direct them to it by what
amuses their minds, so that
you may be better able to
discover with accuracy the
peculiar bent of the genius of
each.”
― Plato

Playing vs. Gaming
Play is an open-ended territory in which make-believe and world-building are crucial factors.
Games are confined areas that challenge the interpretation and optimization of rules and tactics - not to mention time and space.

choose a game / design a game?– Target? Aims? Goals?
