It was an upmost pleasure for us to host Walter Crist, during our first episode on "WTH are Games (and how to study them)?"

We had an in-depth interview on the emergence of games and play in antiquity and looked at early theories on games. Moreover, Walter presented the Digital Ludeme project on which he is working on, which concerns the digitisation of ancient board games in an open source data base by using AI.
