Students in this course will encounter major scholars of play (Schiller, Huizinga, Caillois, Winnicott, Geertz, Flanagan, Mc Gonigal, among others) and designers of rules (Emperor Yao, Magie and Darrow, Will Wright, Sid Meier, among others), key terms and concepts in the analysis of play and games, as well as games and ludic enterprises across a variety of cultures and media. Students will also consider problems in play and games like cheating, addiction, and gamification.
