Reviews

well written and in depth...fascinating.... The notes section and bibliography are both outstanding...'a must read'. Highly Recommended --<i>Game Nite</i>; A valuable study of eurogames and eurogame hobbyists...represents a significant achievement, for both its author as well as game studies. --Mia Consalvo, Ph.D., author of <i>Cheating: Gaining Advantage in Videogames</i>; A conclusive counter to the false notion that motivation for game playing is all about winning and losing. --Lewis Pulsipher, Ph.D., Game Designer.
