Playful Strategy Weekly: Man, Play, and Games 1.1 "Free"
Channel:  Ice Cream for Everyone - Willem van der Horst
Date: 15/07/2020

Playful Strategy Weekly is an Ice Cream for Everyone series of short videos in which I share elements, thoughts, and illustrations from a variety of play related books and articles I read. 

In this very first edition, we begin with the definition of Play from the seminal Man, Play, and Games from French sociologist Roger Caillois. In the book, he defines play as an activity containing six main characteristics, or qualities.

 I illustrate the points made in the video thanks to Apple's nearly 7 minutes long advert: "The whole-working-from-home-thing"  https://youtu.be/6_pru8U2RmM and thanks to Allie Walker's Medium post I quote: https://medium.com/@JustAllie/apple-this-shouldnt-be-normal-c91ab28b6c94
On the more positive side, Mat Mullenweg's perspective on why working from home is good for business is worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6fIseKzzH0
