Noth- ing gets made without a team. That is true of this book as well. Although it has my name on the cover, it is the product of many minds, hands, and hearts. I am pleased to share the credit with those who have worked and played alongside me as this book came to fruition. This project in its current form began at the University of California, Davis, where I have been lucky to find incredible colleagues in both early modern studies and game studies. Fran Dolan has been an especially atten- tive mentor and friend, supporting my scholarship and my career in too many ways to count. I am indebted to her and to Margie Ferguson for their feedback on earlier versions of many of my chapters, as well as to other writing group members over the years: Seeta Chaganti, Stephanie Elsky, Ari Friedlander, Noah Guynn, and Claire Waters. My thanks also to Molly McCarthy, whose feedback on grant proposals also pushed the project in useful directions, and to Lee Emrich, who provided superb editorial assis- tance on several article versions of my chapters. Sarah McCullough orga- nized an early writing group on games, where I received excellent feedback from her, Joe Dumit, Susan Kaiser, and Colin Milburn. Colin has been a vital interlocutor for me throughout the book’s development, and I cannot thank him enough for helping me articulate my contribution to game and media studies and for generously reading the entire manuscript to offer feedback at crucial junctures. Many of my ideas about games were shaped by my engagement with the ModLab Colin founded and particularly through conversations with Stephanie Boluk, Patrick LeMieux, Tim Lenoir, Michael Neff, and Amanda Phillips; graduate students Evan Lauteria, Joseph Nguyen, and Emma Waldron; and dozens of undergraduate interns who work on Play the Knave. I would highlight especially my fruitful col- laboration with graduate students Evan Buswell and Nick Toothman, the architects of Play the Knave, and Sawyer Kemp, whose observations about vicarious spectatorship at installations of the game helped me figure out how to situate Play the Knave in relation to my book’s larger argument Revised Pages x ACKNOWLEDGMENTS about gaming and spectatorship. The influence of this collaboration is most evident in my book’s Epilogue, which draws on the article the four of us cowrote, “‘A Whole Theatre of Others’: Amateur Acting and Immersive Spectatorship in the Digital Shakespeare Game Play the Knave.” Shakespeare Quarterly, special issue on “#Bard,” ed. Douglas Lanier, 67.4 (2016): 408– 30. Portions of several of my other chapters appeared as articles, and al- though these sections have been significantly reframed for the book, the editors who worked with me on those publications shaped my larger argu- ments and methods. Valerie Traub has been a constant source of guidance and friendship for over twenty years and remains one of my most trusted readers. Part of Chapter 4 was published as “Time to Cheat: Chess and The Tempest’s Performative History of Dynastic Marriage” in her edited collec- tion, The Oxford Handbook of Shakespeare and Embodiment: Gender, Sexuality, Race (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2016). Henry Turner, a wonderful editor and friend, worked with me on “Games,” an essay that incorporates parts of my Introduction and short sections from Chapters 2 and 3; it was published in his collection Early Modern Theatricality (Oxford University Press, 2013). A larger section of Chapter 3 was published as “‘My Feet See Better Than My Eyes’: Spatial Mastery and the Game of Masculinity in Ar- den of Faversham’s Amphitheatre” in Theatre Survey 53.1 (2012): 5–28, where it benefited from the feedback of Catherine Cole, Leo Cabranes- Grant, and anonymous readers. My thanks to Oxford and Cambridge University Presses for permission to reprint sections of these essays. In order to write a book as interdisciplinary as this one, I relied on feed- back from scholars at diverse venues. I am thankful for invitations to pres- ent versions of my chapters at the Technology and Society Lecture Series at the Tandon School of Engineering, New York University; the “Theatrical- ity” conference at Rutgers; the Columbia Shakespeare Seminar at Colum- bia University; the Medieval- Renaissance Workshop at the University of Pennsylvania; the Medieval and Early Modern Studies Institute at George Washington University; the “Attending to Early Modern Women” confer- ence; and the “Phenomenal Performances: Getting a Feeling for Shake- speare’s Theater” conference at Northwestern University. I also benefited greatly from feedback offered by fellow participants in various working groups at the American Society for Theatre Research and audiences who attended my talks at

  • Flexible Games by Which I Mean Digital Game Systems That Can Accommodate Rule-Changing and Rule-Bending
    Let’s Play Our Way: Designing Flexibility into Card Game Systems Gifford Cheung A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2013 Reading Committee: David Hendry, Chair David McDonald Nicolas Ducheneaut Jennifer Turns Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Information School ©Copyright 2013 Gifford Cheung 2 University of Washington Abstract Let’s Play Our Way: Designing Flexibility into Card Game Systems Gifford Cheung Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Associate Professor David Hendry Information School In this dissertation, I explore the idea of designing “flexible game systems”. A flexible game system allows players (not software designers) to decide on what rules to enforce, who enforces them, and when. I explore this in the context of digital card games and introduce two design strategies for promoting flexibility. The first strategy is “robustness”. When players want to change the rules of a game, a robust system is able to resist extreme breakdowns that the new rule would provoke. The second is “versatility”. A versatile system can accommodate multiple use-scenarios and can support them very well. To investigate these concepts, first, I engage in reflective design inquiry through the design and implementation of Card Board, a highly flexible digital card game system. Second, via a user study of Card Board, I analyze how players negotiate the rules of play, take ownership of the game experience, and communicate in the course of play. Through a thematic and grounded qualitative analysis, I derive rich descriptions of negotiation, play, and communication. I offer contributions that include criteria for flexibility with sub-principles of robustness and versatility, design recommendations for flexible systems, 3 novel dimensions of design for gameplay and communications, and rich description of game play and rule-negotiation over flexible systems.

  • Protecting Children in Virtual Worlds Without Undermining Their Economic, Educational, and Social Benefits
    Protecting Children in Virtual Worlds Without Undermining Their Economic, Educational, and Social Benefits Robert Bloomfield* Benjamin Duranske** Abstract Advances in virtual world technology pose risks for the safety and welfare of children. Those advances also alter the interpretations of key terms in applicable laws. For example, in the Miller test for obscenity, virtual worlds constitute places, rather than "works," and may even constitute local communities from which standards are drawn. Additionally, technological advances promise to make virtual worlds places of such significant social benefit that regulators must take care to protect them, even as they protect children who engage with them.

    Universiteit Leiden Opleiding Informatica & Economie Examining different strategies for the card game Sueca Name: Vanessa Lopes Carreiro Date: July 13, 2016 1st supervisor: Walter Kosters 2nd supervisor: Rudy van Vliet BACHELOR THESIS Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science (LIACS) Leiden University Niels Bohrweg 1 2333 CA Leiden The Netherlands Examining different strategies for the card game Sueca Vanessa Lopes Carreiro Abstract Sueca is a point-trick card game with trumps popular in Portugal, Brazil and Angola. There has not been done any research into Sueca. In this thesis we will study the card game into detail and examine different playing strategies, one of them being basic Monte-Carlo Tree Search. The purpose is to see what strategies can be used to play the card game best. It turns out that the basic Monte-Carlo strategy plays best when both team members play that strategy. i ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Walter Kosters for brainstorming with me about the research and support but also for the conversations about life. It was a pleasure working with him. I am also grateful for Rudy van Vliet for being my second reader and taking time to read this thesis and providing feedback. iii iv Contents Abstract i Acknowledgements iii 1 Introduction 1 2 The game 2 2.1 The deck and players . 2 2.2 The deal . 3 2.3 Theplay ................................................... 3 2.4 Scoring . 4 3 Similar card games 5 3.1 Klaverjas . 5 3.2 Bridge . 6 4 How to win Sueca 7 4.1 Leading the first trick .

  • Printing Trends in Board & Card Games
    Printing Trends in Board & Card Games Jessica Lee Riddell Graphic Communication Department | College of Liberal Arts | California Polytechnic State University June 2013 Abstract The board and card game industry are facing growing pressures from digital games, as video and social media games become more prevalent. Emerging print and media technologies, namely printed electronics and augmented reality, could provide a board and card gaming experience that would draw in gamers who typically play digital games. The expected outcomes of the literature research, industry and market surveys, and subsequent paper are an understanding of the history of games, the current state of the game manufacturing and publishing industry, and attitudes of gamers who would be playing games embedded with the emerging technologies.

  • Insane in the Mens Rea: Why Insanity Defense Reform Is Long Overdue
    INSANE IN THE MENS REA: WHY INSANITY DEFENSE REFORM IS LONG OVERDUE Louis KAcHuLIs* ABSTRACT While there have been advances in both the criminal justice system and the mental health community in recent years, the intersection of the two has not seen much progress. This is most apparent when considering the insanity defense. This Note explores the history and public perception of the insanity defense, the defense's shortcomings, and attempts to provide a model for insanity defense reform. I spend the first section of the Note exploring the history of the insanity defense and show where the defense sits today. The Note then examines the public perception of the insanity defense, and the news media's influence on that perception, using two recent events as small case studies. The last section of the Note proposes a new model insanity defense, and a plan to implement it. TABLE OF CONTENTS I. INTRODUCTION .............................. ..... 246 II. INSANITY DEFENSE - HISTORICAL IMPLICATIONS AND *Class of 2017, University of Southern California Gould School of Law, B.S. Chemical Engineering, North Carolina State University. This Note is dedicated to those in the criminal justice system suffering from mental health issues. While we work as a society to solve the crisis that is mental health, we cannot forget those who are most vulnerable. I would like to thank Professor Elyn Saks for her guidance and direction with this Note, Chris Schnieders of the Saks Institute for his assistance, and lastly, my parents and Brittany Dunton for their overwhelming support. 245 246 REVIEW OF LA WAND SOCIAL JUSTICE [Vol.
