Huizinga Aesthetics from MDA by Thomas Detko https://padlet.com/thomasdetko/capgc509655w In his own writings inspired by Huizinga, Caillois distinguished 6 categories of games. We can make connections between those game categories and the Aesthetics list from the Mechanic Dynamics and Aesthetics theory of game design. Connect Caillois Categories of Games to the proper Aesthetics from MDA (outlined below). (Note, not all have connections, and some may have more than one). en-us 2019-01-05 17:43:51 UTC 2025-10-09 14:34:36 UTC hello@padlet.com INSTRUCTIONS thomasdetko https://padlet.com/thomasdetko/capgc509655w/wish/1101278069 Copy the following 6 Huizinga inspired Caillois definitions below and paste them into a new Padlet.
