I began experimenting with games because I was intrigued by their potential to challenge traditionally structured social relationships in a hands-on interactive way. Unlike traditional games that are typically competitive zero-sum situations, my goal is to create inherently synergistic and altruistic parameters. Providing cooperative rule-based structures encourages participants to think critically about embedded value systems through active participation instead of passive contemplation.
