" The special thing about games, and tabletop games in particular, is the way they actively train you to think from within their rules. Other forms of art do this too, but in a more roundabout way that requires a certain sensitivity and willingness to taken in by the television show you're watching or the book you're reading. With games, it's a prerequisite. If you don't think the way the game wants you to think, at least a little bit, you're not really playing the game at all. "
