What kind of game is this?

When you play a board game with a six year old, you don’t play to win. You play to simply play.

Rock climbing is similar. Every new climber gets enamoured by chasing grades or projects. But in the end, you play to play.

A hyper capitalistic society has taught us that winning is everything. Its a “dog eat dog” world. “Only the strongest survive!”

What we can do is be upfront what kind of game is this you are playing? Infinite or finite? For fun or for money?
