Life is structured like a game—and time is one of the eight essential elements every game needs. Every game starts at a specific moment—game on—and usually ends at a specific moment—game over. Some games run on an open or closed timeframe, some have ongoing scoring while others don’t reveal a winner until the end. Think about how time affects how you play—too short, and it’s unsatisfying; too long, and it drags. From sudden death in hockey to the pacing of jigsaw puzzles and the thrill of bus races on figure-eight tracks, this video shows how time shapes every game, including the game of life. Then you’ll take a moment to reflect: how does your favorite game handle time—and how does life itself?
