Mallonee on November 25, 2015 http://hyperallergic.com/255411/do-not-pass-bo-archaeologists-unearth-2300-year-old-board-game-inchina/?ref=featured I have a theory about GAMES and Culture. Not only do certain Games come OUT of a Culture – Monopoly/Capitalism (for instance) – but they also feed INTO a Culture and perpetuate certain ideas and mental structures. I remember my Grandson at age 5 beating the Computer at Ping/Pong. It had developed his Hand/Eye coordination to an amazing degree. Most always, a game will involve Mathematics and Geometry. That is one reason I find this article fascinating. I am completely moved by the schematic for the 14-sided polygon and – of course – the structure itself. What does the structure of this polygon say about the culture that developed this game? What does this polygon remind YOU of? What are your favorite games? How have the games you play changed since you were a child? How are they different? Discuss how the Internet has changed the rules of (the) game and Gaming. How have games changed in the last 2300 years? Here are 6 questions to help yourself write a ¾ page on the subject of “Gaming in My 21 st Century Life”! ¾ page = 29 points
