I sincerely doubt that's the *only* way of bringing infinite games into one's life, but it's what I thought as I read the last bit of your post, and then you went and asked what I thought. :D And amusingly, I've been trying to find a used copy of _Finite and Infinite Games_ for the last couple of weeks so that I can re-read it (and add it back onto my shelves, because I gave away my last copy). I haven't been trying especially hard, because I'm sure Powell's could send it to me, but I have been into a couple of my usual haunts here in town with no luck. Maybe that'll be my spring break reading.
