Infinite v. non-infinite games reminds me the stuff in The Reciprocality Project about Motivational Inversion, which discusses zero-sum and non-zero-sum games.

Seems like the fundamental law of playing infinite games is The Law of Reciprocality:

1. If you want to help others, help yourself instead.
2. If you want to help yourself, help others instead.

The focus on 'play' also reminds of some of the sayings of Organelle.

That's a good principle, but I'm not quite sure how you got that to be the fundamental law of playing infinite games. Infinite games are about changing the rules in order to keep playing. Not in any pre-defined way, but in whatever way happens to be enjoyable.

Thanks for reminding me of Organelle. Great stuff, and I hadn't been there for a while.

I would like to know if the author has an official site, and if there are Spanish translations of his book somewhere.
Tks.
