The Four Play Styles
• Conqueror:• Associated with challenge and the emotional payoff of triumph over adversity; tend to finish
games they start.• Highly patient with frustration: if they stick with it, they can win.• Skills: proficiency with logistical optimization and strategic thinking.
• Manager:• Associated with mastery and systems; may not finish many games that they start playing.• Good at dealing with multiple factors in parallel.• Skills: tactical competence backed with strategic thinking.
• Wanderer:• Associated with experience and identity; challenge is not especially desired, but may be
tolerated.• Attracted by the feeling that something new is just around the corner, an involving story, or a
beautiful world.• Skills: tactical competence and abstract thinking.
• Participant:• Associated with emotions and involvement; seem happiest when playing with people, but also
enjoy play which is rooted in emotion.• Drawn to games with an emotional effect, that allow the player to affect virtual or real people.• Skills: logistical optimization.
