Abstract

This paper's satirical arguments for Games Against Health (GAH) is both lighthearted and thought-provoking. Games are media for play, which according to Huizinga, is a form of activity that is interest driven and relatively inconsequential but also challenging to its players. Then, this begs a conceptual question for new research areas with derivative titles "Games for [anything but play]." That question is: how can you design a fundamentally playful and engaging activity, but embedded with consequential institutional agendas?
