A Theory of Fun

Why is a game like tic-tac-toe less fun than a game like Go or UNO after you have played it several times?

Pick a game you like and decide if it is a Type 1 game or Type 2 game. What did you decide and why?

Many games, particularly mobile games, are sometimes categorized as "pay to win", meaning the people who are the best at the game got that way because they spent a lot of money to make the game easier.

Based on the video and what it says about difficulty, do you think pay to win games are less fun when you spend money? Why or why not?

Think of a game that you are glad you played, but that would not be described as "fun." Answer these questions:

1. Which game? (If you can find one, include a link to a page about the game.)
2. Why wasn't it fun?
3. Why are you glad you played it anyway?
