DESIGN GAMES
a particular genre for formatting design dialogues
A diverse group of players are gathered around a collaborative activity
guided by simple and explicit rules, assigned roles and supported by predefined gaming materials. The game materials typically point to either or
both existing practices and future possibilities. The games are played within
a confined and shared temporal and spatial setting often removed from the
everyday context of the players. The purpose of the game is to establish
and explore novel configurations of the game materials and the present and
future practices to which these materials point. At the end of the game, the
players will have produced representations of one or more possible design
options.
