Ok, so this board game chapter was mind-glowingly good. And then, in the middle, he drops this reference to David Sudnow, which is amazing because Sudnow’s “Pilgrim in the Microworld” is one of the all-time great books about *video* games.pic.twitter.com/LwYUcy4tVW

Mysteriously, while I was writing my thesis about a video-game playing program, I read Sudnow’s _Ways of the Hand_, but completely missed the existence of his _Pilgrim_ (which was published a couple years before I started my research project).

I discovered _Pilgrim in the Microworld_ a few months ago (possibly from reading that same reference in Liberman’s games chapter) and there’s been a copy beside my bed ever since. I haven’t done more than flip through it so far.

Pilgrim is beautiful, mostly because it is a carefully-observed, honest, theory-free description of what it’s actually like to play a video game.
