Abstract

The current paper presents a combination between causality as a form of methodological instrument and its practical application to four pure types of games according to the classification of Roger Caillois. A contribution of the paper is the comparison with the four types of Bartle’s players as well as the representation of games as serious games with rules whose main purpose is to teach and train. Another contribution is the focus on the feedback mechanism in games as a form of an evaluation mechanism, stimulating students’ motivation, especially in rational games, typical of the business environment.
