Gonzalo has made Madrid; a thoughtful, simple little game, in respect and sympathy for Madrid's many victims. Beautiful. (Of course, Gonzalo made it.)
Over at GrandTextAuto they're discussing whether this is a game. I don't care too much about definitions any more. A definition is OK if it is to make clear to others what you are talking about. It may be fine if it highlights the interesting border cases. If it hightlights Madrid I am happy too. But trying to find the perfect definition just for the sake of it seems futile and to make it a normative discussion of what things are supposed to be even worse.
To me, Madrid felt like playing in a thoughtful way. You guys go on defining.
