Playful Strategy Weekly is an Ice Cream for Everyone series of short videos in which I share elements, thoughts, and illustrations from a variety of play related books and articles I read. In the third episode, we continue with the definition of play as an activity from the seminal Man, Play, and Games from French sociologist Roger Caillois.
In the book, he defines play as an activity containing six main characteristics, or qualities. The third one is “uncertain.”
I illustrate the points made in the video thanks to Heineken Departure Roulette, and SodaStream’s Superbowl 2020 ad, Water on Mars.
