Play It, Make It
A Tiny Book of DIY Games
by Rio
When I was a teenager, I discovered The New Games Book which was based upon principals of – imagine
this!- cooperation. Since then more cooperative games books have emerged with
alternatives to the cutthroat games we grow up with that teach us everything
about competition and nothing abut real skills and values.
Play It, Make It
delves into similar territory by creating games with little more than pens,
cards and scrap paper. The games range from straightforward (one called “It’s
Categories”) to somewhat more complicated (Werewolf) and the common theme here
is creating your own fun without Milton Bradley or the Parker Brothers or the need
for a Wii or computer. Play It, Make It
is well written with easy to understand instructions and these games seem ideal
for a gathering of friends. Play on!
