Roger Caillois, a French sociologist studied play, he categorised games into four types:
-Agon - games of competition like boxing or racing
- Mimicry - games of imitation like theatre
-Alea - games of chance like roulette
-Ilinx - games about continuing a pattern or altering perceptions like Acrobatics or hallucinogens
I put a variety of games into a grid to see how they would relate to the four categories
