3. Good Games
• A good game might be
described as one whose
social contribution
overweighs the
complexity of its
motivations, particularly
if the player has come in
terms with those
motivations without
futility or cynicism.
• A good game contributes
both to the well being of
the other players and to
the unfolding of the one
who is it.

4. Busman’s Holiday
• This is more of a
pastime than a game.
• It becomes a game if
work is secondary to
some ulterior motive
and is undertaken
merely as a show in
order to accomplish
something else.
• Even under those
circumstance, it keeps
its constructive quality.

5. Cavalier
• Upon encountering a
suitable female
subject, Mr. White
take every
opportunity to
remark upon her
good qualities, never
transgressing the
limits appropriate to
her station of life.
• The object is not to
seduce but to exhibit
his virtuosity in the
art of effective
compliment.

6. Happy To Help
• This game is the basis of a
large proportion of public
relations. But the
customers are glad to
become involved, and it is
perhaps the most
pleasant and constructive
of the commercial games.
• The choice of HTH
removes some of the
discredit since thee are so
many unpleasant ways of
competing available.

7. Homely Sage
• After retirement, people
move to small town and
hold a responsible
position.
• There it soon becomes
known that people can go
to him with their
problems of whatever
kind and he will help
them himself.
• He soon finds his place in
the new environment as
Homely Sage.
