The return of the classic book on games and play that illuminates the relationship between the well-played game and the well-lived life. In The Well-Played Game, games guru Bernard De Koven explores the interaction of play and games, offering players—as well as game designers, educators, and scholars—a guide to how games work. De Koven’s classic treatise on how human beings play together, first published in 1978, investigates many issues newly resonant in the era of video and computer games, including social gameplay and player modification. The digital game industry, now moving beyond its emphasis on graphic techniques to focus on player interaction, has much to learn from The Well-Played Game. De Koven explains that when players congratulate each other on a “well-played” game, they are expressing a unique and profound synthesis that combines the concepts of play (with its associations of playfulness and fun) and game (with its associations of rule-following). This, he tells us, yields a larger concept: the experience and expression of excellence. De Koven—affectionately and appreciatively hailed by Eric Zimmerman as “our shaman of play”—explores the experience of a well-played game, how we share it, and how we can experience it again; issues of cheating, fairness, keeping score, changing old games (why not change the rules in pursuit of new ways to play?), and making up new games; playing for keeps; and winning. His book belongs on the bookshelves of players who want to find a game in which they can play well, who are looking for others with whom they can play well, and who have discovered the relationship between the well-played game and the well-lived life.

Well Played is a concept of providing in-depth close readings of video games that parse out the various meanings to be found in the experience of playing a game. Around Halloween in 2020, the Well Played Journal started its 10th volume. Looking back, the first "well played" presentation and article was in 2003, the first book came out in 2009, and the first journal issue was released in 2011. Thinking of Well Played during the pandemic underscored how games have been a part of our experiences and the value and role games have had in people's lives this past year or so. This Well Played retrospective and companion essays on games during the pandemic capture a critical history of Well Played and highlight how much games can matter in our lives. The retrospective and pandemic essays have resonant themes, so we've woven them together to share a written tapestry of Well Played and games, value, and meaning.
