For example, if by "I spy" you mean the game families might play in the car "I spy with my little eye..." then I doubt anyone owns that game idea and I believe you could describe it freely. Indeeed I did a quick google search to find it described on websites without citing anyone, including <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_spy" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia</a>. The only game of Taboo I know involves a boxed deck and timer, published by Hasbro. I understand that there are digital versions for ipad and android. If your suggestion uses any of those versions requiring a set or piece of software then I believe the sensible mention of who published and where to find it would serve your reader and reference requirements both. If you mean a game that does not use a set then it would be like I Spy...moonflowerdragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09732125574025543300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714887.post-19560862467798292282018-10-17T14:02:24.729+11:002018-10-17T14:02:24.729+11:00I am trying to publish a workbook for ESL students...I am trying to publish a workbook for ESL students. In the book I would like to use some popular activities/games that are quite common: ie. “I Spy”, “Taboo”, “Who Am I?”, “Charades”, etc.<br />My question is about whether or not it is necessary to make the citations for these games, and if necessary, how the citations/references should be made.<br />If it’s not too much to ask, I would appreciate it if you could provide me with some insight and assistance to this issue.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714887.post-31337060366751517132018-10-03T23:55:32.988+10:002018-10-03T23:55:32.988+10:00Thanks Anonymous
The answer to the first question ...Thanks Anonymous<br />The answer to the first question (whether rules would have same citation as for game) depends on at least things: whether you mean citation or reference, and whether the rules have their own publication data. <br /><br />Of the latter point I gave an example <a href="https://moonflowerdragon.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-to-cite-game-in-apa-style.html?showComment=1276910873236#c2105484493949060169" rel="nofollow">above</a> wherein, rules lacking their own publication data would be cited as (A Question of Scruples, 1986, rules p.6) with that citation being to title because no developer was mentioned anywhere in the game materials. <br /><br />When it comes to the monopoly example I gave, I had to go find my 2006 copy of the game. I ask myself: Why did I credit it to Charles B. Darrow? Because Hasbro kindly did so on the cover verso. Okay, but Darrow is not mentioned in the rules, and these rules may not match the original. I would probably still cite in text as e.g. (Darrow, 2006, rules, p6). However other options are possible.<br /><br />Why 2006 = because we cite the source we are using and my copy is from 2006 (the copyright info says 1935-2006).<br /><br />Of course, one point I may not have made clearly in my post is that such APA style reference & citation examples assume one has made some sort of quote or distinctive reference to a copy of the game. If that is not the case then other options exist such as a footnote explanation, a materials list in whatever format makes sense... which is why discussion with teacher/ reviewer/ editor about context-specific expectations is advisable.moonflowerdragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09732125574025543300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714887.post-75298466920134598432018-10-03T08:39:04.321+10:002018-10-03T08:39:04.321+10:00Hi,

Sorry it has taken two days to notice you had made it. <br /><br />If one understands that my opinion is that how we cite a game depends on: the context of the game within our writing/communication, the purpose and location of our writing, and our audience/publishers requirements, then: no my opinion has not changed at all.<br /><br />It sounds like Hanabi is serving as a tool, device, or treatment equipment? If so, perhaps one would identify it title (date) publisher. If a game has different versions or editions, more detail might be needed if other versions would not be suitable to the purpose.moonflowerdragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09732125574025543300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714887.post-18245558310608077162016-06-22T04:56:24.293+10:002016-06-22T04:56:24.293+10:00Hi.

Unfortunately when they are made available online, often the credits (disappointingly) not made available outside the medium as human readable data.<br /><br />I had to risk using Flash to start the game to find a <a href="http://bit.ly/1Ge6Yty" rel="nofollow">credit screen [image at Google Drive]</a>. <br /><br />Had the game not contained credits, we'd be stuck because the website Classic Games Arcade does not seem to require its developers to provide that information human-readably.

By recreation, I mean they created a similarly functioning game in flash so that it could be hosted on the website (where I played it from). The website includes the developer of the original arcade game but I can't find information on who the website owner is nor who recreated it in flash. This is the game: http://www.classicgamesarcade.com/game/21670/tron-game.html. Information on the classic version it is a recreation of is in the "Game History" tab.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714887.post-46476638449126075652015-09-14T15:32:48.101+10:002015-09-14T15:32:48.101+10:00Thank you so much!!!!!Thank you so much!!!!!Monica Horton-Knuckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10432763458202991719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8714887.post-25805781044214920982015-09-09T01:44:20.821+10:002015-09-09T01:44:20.821+10:00Thanks, very helpful.
