According to Roger Caillois, play is "an occasion of pure waste: waste of time, energy, ingenuity, skill, and often of money." In spite of this - or because of it - play constitutes an essential element of human social and spiritual development. In this classic study, Caillois defines play as a free and voluntary activity that occurs in a pure space, isolated and protected from the rest of life. Play is uncertain, since the outcome may not be foreseen, and it is governed by rules that provide a level playing field for all participants. In its most basic form, play consists of finding a response to the opponent's action - or to the play situation - that is free within the limits set by the rules. Caillois qualifies types of games - according to whether competition, chance, simulation, or vertigo (being physically out of control) is dominant - and ways of playing, ranging from the unrestricted improvisation characteristic of children's play to the disciplined pursuit of solutions to gratuitously difficult puzzles. Caillois also examines the means by which games become part of daily life and ultimately contribute to various cultures their most characteristic customs and institutions. Presented here in Meyer Barash's superb English translation, "Man, Play and Games" is a companion volume to Caillois' "Man and the Sacred".

赫伊津哈不算数，游戏本体论研究从此书开始，值得一读。 双轴分类：态度为padia（嬉戏）到ludus（竞戏/游戏）两端，类型为agon（竞争）、alea（运气）、mimicry（角色扮演）还有个忘记怎么拼的眩晕（知觉刺激的游戏），然后开始疯狂排列组合探讨这些东西的化学作用。 游戏的腐化一章讲了上述几种化学反应在魔圈或说游戏场之外失控的情况，挺有意思。 不太赞同赌钱合理的观点。
