The document discusses playful design and how play acts as an invitation through reimagining boundaries and rules. It notes that while play aims to be open and unstructured, too much openness can make the experience difficult and uninviting. Effective play requires some framework and structure to guide participation and foster a sense of flow.

I
think
there
might
be
a
problem
with
your
musical
instrument
analogy.
For
most
people
(unless
they're
kids)
it
is
really
not
successful
in
invi2ng
“play.”
It's
too
open,
too
unstructured,
too
difficult
to
make
it
sound
“good.”
