The best discussions of games come from experiences gained in a play session so that new revelations may be made or old thoughts resurface. We played Monopoly’s progenitor “The Landlord’s Game” the other week and I have written about how it fits into some classical (Huizinga, Caillois, and Suits) definitions of games. While a traditional analysis would normally be a real snoozer, we had an untraditional play session that made things much more interesting. Namely, we made a lot of the rules up. Check it out and either comment there or come on back here.
