A play-community generally tends to become permanent even after the game is over. [...] The feeling of being "apart together" in an exceptional situation, of sharing something important, of mutually withdrawing from the rest of the world and rejecting the usual norms, retains its magic beyond the duration of the individual game.

Sometimes you have to kill a design when it just isn’t fun, rather than inflict it on the world.

Don't let your natural greed get in the way of winning. If you can't convert that money into life points, you become a very rich loser.

I think it's wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.

Avoid the crowd. Do your own thinking independently. Be the chess player, not the chess piece.
