Play Value - Appeal To More Than One Age or Stage of Development

Appeal To More Than One Age or Stage of Development

Playability is a word that when applied to games has a similar meaning to play value. Those games with strong playability appeal to more than one age or stage of development. For example, Monopoly and Risk are two games that appeal to a wide range of ages, though generally not to very young children. Similarly, toys that appeal to more than one age or stage tend to have higher play value.

Famous quotes containing the words appeal to, appeal, age, stage and/or development:

    Every man wants a woman to appeal to his better side, his nobler instincts and his higher nature—and another woman to help him forget them.
    Helen Rowland (1875–1950)

    Peace does not appear so distant as it did. I hope it will come soon, and come to stay; and so come as to be worth the keeping in all future time. It will then have been proved that, among free men, there can be no successful appeal from the ballot to the bullet; and that they who take such appeal are sure to lose their case, and pay the cost.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    If youth but knew; if age but could.
    Wives in their husbands’ absences grow subtler,
    And daughters sometimes run off with the butler.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Morality is a venereal disease. Its primary stage is called virtue; its secondary stage, boredom; its tertiary stage, syphilis.
    Karl Kraus (1874–1936)

    ... work is only part of a man’s life; play, family, church, individual and group contacts, educational opportunities, the intelligent exercise of citizenship, all play a part in a well-rounded life. Workers are men and women with potentialities for mental and spiritual development as well as for physical health. We are paying the price today of having too long sidestepped all that this means to the mental, moral, and spiritual health of our nation.
    Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
