The Golden Gamers: A 65+ Library Gaming GroupJohn Pappas
"The Golden Gamers" Equitable and Inclusive Gaming Events for the Elderly presented by John Pappas
Tabletop board gaming is a creative, multi-generational, social and fun activity. While there is a broad swatch of recreational activities for the 65+ crowd, generally gaming is left out. Conversations with the Senior Activities Board of the Upper Darby Libraries confirmed this with traditional video games providing an engaging experience but accessibility tends to be a challenge due to physical determinants (carpal tunnel, poor eyesight, arthritis) and experiential (with a large learning curve required for many video games). Tabletop board games provide an experience that is interactive, social, cognitive and engaging. With concerns over Alzheimer's and social isolation, this is an important subject for many seniors. The Primos Library instituted a series of programs "Tabletop Gaming at the Library" (intergenerational, weekly), The Game Designer's Guild (monthly, intergenerational) and the "Golden Gamers" (65+, Monthly-Weekly dependant upon interest) each providing a gaming experience for burgeoning and experienced gamers of any age.
In this talk, Pappas will discuss the initial planning, marketing, collection development and community engagement elements of the series as well as successes and challenges. A large portion of the talk will be on game selection for this age group including issues such as the level of social interaction inherent in the game, types of games, levels of complexity and iconography.

The games we play
1. The Games We Play
Aviad Goz, Founder and CVO, NEWS Organizational Navigation
Dynamics
We all play games.
A game is a system with rules in which the player tries to win.
There are types of games: electronic games, board games, card games and many
more.
We refer in this article to the games we play in life, which are usually not defined as
games at.
There are many games that we play: Social games, Wealth games, Status game,
Corporate games, Fame games, Family games and more. Each has its own rules,
prizes their penalties. The serious-minded reader might scorn the idea that these are
called "games". People usually take matters of career, family etc. very seriously.
This is often the problem.
Yet, these are games by definition.
So, we would like to offer an external perception that puts matters in different
perspective.
There is an old Chinese wisdom that suggests that when we play and the prize is a
broken piece of marble, we play gracefully. When we play and the money is at stake,
most play with hesitation and some cautiousness. But when people play and gamble
their last possessions most play recklessly.
Over involvement in a game does not help to win. It is actually the opposite.
So let us look at various games we play.
We don’t get to choose the systems we are born into. The social game is very
culturally defined. The career game is economically defined. The corporate game is
defined by organizational culture and so on.
But We can choose in which games that are played in the systems we are born into
or find ourselves in we want to play, and which games we stay away from.
And we can choose how we want to play the games we chose to play.
When playing any game there are few things that the winners know and do.
2. A. They realize that it is a game. It must not be over serious.
B. They choose consciously if they wish to play in that particular game.
C. They become fully aware of the prizes and penalties of the game and they
agree and do not grumble later.
D. They develop the ability not to be emotionally involved. After all It is a game.
E. They play gracefully and with ease.
F. They learn well the rules of the game and master them.
G. They Develop the ability to play by the rules, but also the ability to go beyond
the rules if needed.
H. The greatest winners of all are those that create games for others, in which
others play.
So, why not realize which games are you actually part of?
Why not choose if these are really the games you wish to play?
In the games that you choose consciously to play, learn the rules and boundaries
and play to win. Do it lightly. Over involvement and seriousness will fail you.
P.S. Try to enjoy the games you chose
