Propositum

Desiderata

Propositum (message / stance) names what a game stands for – which perspective it takes, which values it embodies. It can be explicit or work implicitly through rules and framing. It turns a game from a neutral tool into a positioned artefact.

Design question – What does your ludic experience stands for?

Reference example – Monopoly: “Capitalism produces inequality” – often unintended. Celeste: “Fighting for your own mental health is worth it.” Spirit Island: “Colonialism is violence, even when it calls itself civilisation.” Football: “A fair contest between equals.”
