| Description | This paper is a personal exploration of game definitions and meaning in games, going from more formal definitions that include inherent elements of games to subjective meaning-making in specific game enactments. The paper also details how these definitions affect game design for learning and why many current learning games miss out on the true potential for gaming. |
