In the book, Carse demonstrates a way of looking at actions in life as being a part of at least two types of what he describes as “games”, finite and infinite. Both games are played within rules, as agreed upon by the participants; however, the meaning of the rules are different between the two types of games. The book stresses a non-serious (or “playful”) view of life, often referring to people as “players”, their choices as “moves”, and societal constructs and mores as “rules” and “boundaries”.
