“What is a knowledge game?” by Dave Gray Really great little post that lays out the difference between play and a game. (I myself was confused about the distinction…) The sketch above, to me, also shows the process of art: the artist imagines the world, he creates the world, then the viewer or reader enters the world, explores the world, and leaves the world. Definitely worth a read. See also Dylan Horrock’s essay, THE PERFECT PLANET: Comics, Games and World-Building. UPDATE: This illustration is featured in Dave’s new book, Gamestorming.

“ Index cards and sticky notes operate like the playing cards, counters and other game components: they make it easy to sort, shuffle, arrange and rearrange information. Flip charts and whiteboards function like playing fields or game boards – they bring logic and order to a space, allowing it to serve as a base for exploring combinatorial possibilities.
— Dave Gray, “Why games?”

“ The only way to read a book of aphorisms without being bored is to open it at random and, having found something that interests you, close the book and meditate.
— Prince Charles Josef de Ligne (1735-1814), Austrian field marshal and writer (quoted by Dave Gray in Marks and Meaning, Verson 0.5)

» Dave Gray's reading list

A lot of people have asked me to recommend books on visual thinking, visual learning, the brain, business, etc., so I have compiled this list. I’ve added a brief note to each book so you can see why I think it’s important.
