And then when I was working on my first book on the nature of games, my primary model was a certain kind of board game.

And in board games, board games tell you exactly what's going to count as points.

Like the board games I play, like they say, like, you know, collect cows, that's worth two points.

Collect sheep, each sheep is worth three points.

So you know exactly what it'll measure and you know how to add them up together.
