The Rule Book Quotes

“Internal rules can be egotistic and solipsistic, putting primacy to one’s own personal experience, but they can also be fiercely prosocial. Players’ ideas of what kind of play is beautiful, elegant, or meaningful can guide playing even if articulating aesthetic ideals as “rules” can be difficult. Internal rules can define the player’s experience of the game.”
― Jaakko Stenros, The Rule Book: The Building Blocks of Games
