In this fascinating analysis of the development, structure, and
strategies of sports, Bell argues that games are an institution
that not only reflect society but also mold society. He develops a
typology of seven game levels from the primitive to the decadent
and examines the history of game development in Western
civilization, through the relation of the various game levels to
national ambitions and strategies. "To Play the Game" is both
enlightening and entertaining, an original contribution to the
growing scholarship on sports.
