Rabbit Cohen@evan Play is important. We all have to play toys. It's enrichment. So in that sense, yes, very much. But in the sense of "Is it important who wins sports?" I really wish we lived in a society where the answer was a definitive no.
@BathysphereHat it's interesting to me whether all play is a game. But otherwise I agree.
@evan Sure, but I think adults have a hard time with playing in a way that's not in some way formalised, at least when no children are present. That's why things like tabletop RPGs are so great.
@BathysphereHat that's such a good point! Games are a permission structure for play. "This book of instructions from this box of cardboard disks we spent $64.99 on says we have to do this fun thing, so I guess we have to do it!"
