Collin Brooke has issued a call for a list of five things — books on your night stand, books you want to read this year, songs you’re playing in heavy rotation, recent games you’ve played, snacks in your cupboard, etc. — with the results to be shared in the next issue of Rhetsy. Here’s a list of the most recent games I’ve played on a computer or iPad:

  1. Dwarf Fortress
  2. Minecraft
  3. Carcassonne
  4. Stone Age
  5. The Battle for Wesnoth

Thanks to Dr. B, who pointed to the “Understanding Games” series at Kongregate. Kongregate hosts a number of flash-based games, and”Understanding Games” is a bit of metagaming, games designed to teach basic concepts behind gaming. The description for Episode 1 reads:

Episode 1 is the first of four games trying to raise awareness for the basic concepts of computer and video games. It deals with rules, interactivity, representation and simulation in games.

Well, I’m off to play episodes 2, 3, and 4.
