How I Play Games
In short
A map of my own reasons for playing games. I defined 15 motivations and 7 player types, then noticed the pattern that mattered: what I want from a game changes with whom I play. The final poster overlays four radar charts, playing alone, with my partner, with a younger sibling and with a friend, and compares each with how I play alone. Critique pushed me to cut layers; my architecture training makes me prone to over-layered diagrams.
