With put-down pick-up games, what are pros and cons of treating each start as a new playthrough, vs the game start to finish? #AnthGameF14

I liked the freedom of exploration in Labyrinth. I could choose any order and any corner and still have a coherent experience. #AnthGameF14

Anyone know any games whose rules are intentionally built to enable and encourage successive rule changes during play? #AnthGameF14

Reading about spoken symbols makes me wonder: is there a word for games relying on information exchange between players? #AnthGameF14

The english-major in me is excited for learning any new vocabulary related to game design this week. #AnthGameF14

Mini ethnography assignment showed me one gamer's play can impact many people. I assigned 8 pseudonyms for only 3 sessions. #AnthGameF14

Physical design reflects opinions about the game in a cultural context. What does the art of Yams! communicate? Thoughts? #AnthGameF14

No games I watch have non-permanent currency. The hyphen-adjective shows cultural bias. Our money doesn't go bad. Interesting. #AnthGameF14

Part of marginalizing games comes from claiming they only impact "gamers," not their non-gamer families, friends, and networks. #AnthGameF14

What game types does "gamer" identity, constructed as a market or set of markets, exclude? Poker? Sports? Clue? Why? #AnthGameF14

Do you think there are differences in perceived objectivity when a participant observer is participating in play? #AnthGameF14

We need to integrate game genres into multiple fields. I really want to write game symbolism analysis, which isn't anthro. #AnthGameF14

How applicable do you think these motivations are to other game types? Card games? Party games? Do they have advancement? #AnthGameF14

This article helped me vocalize my enjoyment of games. I watch. This form of "play" seeks immersion and social enjoyments. :) #AnthGameF14

Snodgrass' analysis intersects interestingly with Callious'. For instance, immersion can contain alea in random/rare events. #AnthGameF14

From the article, I understood "affect" as the work related to creating a socially acceptable emotion. Is that correct? #AnthGameF14

I feel the relationships between game worlds and our views and experience of work can apply beyond just time-management games. #AnthGameF14
