104 - Play in 5 Easy Steps (Showmanship & Play 7 of 30)
In this episode I unpack the five criterias of play. The five are as follows:
1 - Play is fun. It’s intensely pleasurable and enjoyable. So when we play we don’t want it to stop.
2 - Play is self motivated, which means it has to be entered into voluntarily.
3 - Play is apparently purposeless. We play for the sake of playing not to achieve some further goal.
4 - Play has rules.
5 - Play is imaginative and improvisational.

The third one is a link to a podcast with an interview with one of the two authors. BE WARNED the links are all in Norwegian, but with the help of google and our AI overlords you'll be reading it in no time, in a language more suitable to your horizon of understanding.
