hello:
i would be interested in hearing about any research that people have seen or
just personal feelings people have on more libertarian methods to be used
in games. i have found more than a few books on cooperative games... but
these are nearly entirely based on physical action type games... ie, sports.
what i am most interested in are card games, board games and strategy
games, etc. which usually involve point systems or ranking systems or
encourage accumulating "things" in ways that are not very anarchist. any
pointers at how to undo some of these structures without removing the entire
momentum of the game? i would be interested in people's comments in this
area.
