Infinite Games
"Infinite Games" is a concept introduced by philosopher James P. Carse in his book of the same name. It refers to games or activities that are played for the purpose of continuing the play, rather than to win. In infinite games, the rules can change, and the focus is on collaboration, creativity, and the ongoing experience rather than a fixed endpoint.
In contrast, finite games have clear rules, defined players, and a specific goal, such as winning. Understanding the difference between these two types of games can help individuals and organizations adopt a mindset that values long-term growth and relationships over short-term victories.
