NOTE

Playing the Game, It Doesn't Matter Whether You Win or Lose

Games are both cooperative and competitive. Each team cooperates with one another to play the game, but within the team, there is competition to be the best player. Cooperation is still important, as teammates want good players to emerge. The interactions are regulated by cooperation even in the midst of competition. This concept is similar to the saying 'it's not about winning or losing, it's about how you play the game.' The idea is that playing fair is like playing a meta game, where victory is being invited to play all games. Teaching children to behave properly ensures they are always invited to play, making them winners.
