LUDO GAME
What's a game?
In the German language a game is any
exertion which is executed only for pleasure and without conscious purpose. In
this description every exertion that brings pleasure is a game. For
illustration, people dance, play musical instruments, act in plays, and play
with dolls and model trains.
This description people use moment
comes from the workshop of Johan Huizinga( Homo Ludens, 1938) and Friedrich
Georg Jünger( Die Spiele, 1959). But there are more ways to define games.
Manfred Eigen's and Ruthild Winkler's description for game goes beyond the
description used by Huizinga. They see a game as a natural miracle half
necessity and half coexistence( Das Spiel, 1975). Their description of games
comes near to Adornos' description, who set himself piecemeal from Huizinga by
relating games as an art form.
But in our sense these delineations
are too wide, we define game more shortly. therefore, I'm writing about games
which belong to the class that includes Chess, 9 Man's Morris, Checkers, Halma,
Go, Parchisi, Monopoly, Scrabble, Skat, Rummy, Bridge, Memory, Jack Straws,
Dominoes, and so on. Unfortunately, our language doesn't have a good term to
call these games. Terms like table games, society games, event games are too
narrow. In my opinion, the stylish term would be" rulegames" = "
games with rules".
I'll now try to find the criteria for
defining" game with rules". Kevin Maroney defined game in his Games
Journal composition, My Entire Waking Life. Scott Kim defined mystification in
his Games Cafe composition" What Is a mystification?" as separate from
a game. Kate Jones writes about less aggressive games in her Games Journal
composition Non Predatory Games. My description is a farther attempt to explore
the nature of games.
