Game-Stories: Simulation, Narrative, Addiction

Friday,17 August
10:30 am - 12:15 pm
West Hall B

When they discuss the future of entertainment and art, people often talk about a media form "between a game and a story." In this exploration of whether game-stories already exist, panelists explain their positions and show examples of games created by others or themselves: board games, video games, spectator sports, digital art, children's games, language games, war games, card games, and more.
