Book description
Why is playing games a universal human instinct?And how can those games make your life happier, healthier and more fulfilled? In this fascinating look at games through the ages, Tim Clare explores how, through play, we become fully ourselves. From Roman anti-cheating devices to organised crime card syndicates, from Pokémon's world domination to the combative domestic bonding ritual of Monopoly, The Game Changers explains why games are more popular now than ever, and how playing them helps us learn to be better losers, make smarter decisions and become more human.

With ListenBook, I can now enjoy my favorite audiobooks and speeches with the utmost comfort and convenience. Sharing audiobooks with friends through AirDrop and Sharing on ListenBook Pro is a brilliant way to connect. Supports extensive playlists and bookmarks. Very user-friendly. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre.
