This is my book presentation of "Triadic Game Design: Balancing Reality, Meaning and Play", published by Springer in 2011 (for more information, see http://triadicgamedesign.com). In this presentation I describe my journey into the worlds of games and how this led me to write this book. I compare my journey to the one by Charles Darwin (although by far not of the same scientific magnitude of course). Like him, I obsersed what happened and tried to reflect what this meant. A big difference between his and my journey is that my journey took place virtually (represented by the screenshot of Ship Simulator). An important part of the journey was to design a game eventually called Levee Patroller. Levee patrollers are people who inspect levees, barriers that protect the land from flooding, in the Netherlands. During my journey I saw many perspectives in the world of games and while designing I encountered these many perspectives continuously. After reflecting what happened I established a design philosophy called "Triadic Game Design".

Editor's Notes
- In the painting, Brueghel depicts over 200 children engaged in over 80 play activities. Not all of these play activities are games in the strict sense. Of these activities, over 20 children's games are individually illustrated and discussed on this Website. Many of these games are still played today. Brueghel painted these games in 1560.
