Summary

With the highly original idea of turning her book into a game, Karen Köhler succeeds in reintroducing the topic of ‘play’ to a wide readership in an entertaining and varied way. So why not organise a games night with friends to find out which types of players emerge? In any case, the principle set out by Satyakaam Ramkrishan at the beginning of the book applies: “Take playfulness seriously. Take seriousness playfully”.
