Currently, a link to game is broken. It’s just redirects me to this page.
Can you please tell, where i can find this beautiful game? I tried to google it, but without any success.
Or maybe you can fix the link?

Since the outcome is certain, it doesn’t seem to fit Roger Caillois’ definition. Chris Crawford would call it “art” since it is made “for its own beauty” or a “toy” since it has “no goals”. It doesn’t fit Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman’s definition since there is no conflict, Greg Costikyan’s definition since you don’t manage resources, Clark C. Abt’s definition since there is only one decision-maker, Elliot Avedon and Brian Sutton-Smith’s definition since there is no “opposition between forces”, or Kevin Maroney’s definition since there is no goal.

Or maybe I just didn’t understand it. 🙂
