In addition to self-awareness, imagination and conscience, it is the

so constituted as to maximize play. The best games are not those in which
all goes smoothly and steadily toward a certain conclusion, but those in

uncertainty, order and chaos. Every important call is a close one. We
survive and evolve by the skin of our teeth. We really wouldn't want it
any other way.
