Press Release

Leslie Scott (creator of Jenga) announces the launch of BOUNDLESS PLAY, the Substack. Using this newsletter publishing platform, she will be presenting - in serial form - all the material she has gathered over the past two years (and is gathering still), which she had intended to publish as BOUNDLESS PLAY, the book. This was before she realised that no one book, however big, could ever be BIG enough to hold everything there is to say about every conceivable facet of play. It turns out that the subject of 'play' is boundless, literally. 

 
The Boundless Play Substack.
 
Aside from the pieces Leslie has written, BOUNDLESS PLAY has commissioned work from a team of guest writers that includes - award winning journalists, esteemed scholars, world-renowned game-designers, thoughtful theorists and expert play practitioners.  The aim is to be seriously interesting, and playful, and fun.
 
Boundless Play will be posting regular newsletters, each of which will feature a visually compelling, entertaining, original and thought-provoking article about a different aspect of play. Once posted, these articles will be archived and available to read or re-read at leisure. 
 
The first two articles, 'The Opening Play' and 'Playing Chicken' have been posted. 'Playboy' ( by Bob Peirce) and 'Play Ball' ( by Harry Pearson) are ready to roll, and 'Word Play' ( by Jerome Fletcher) is standing by.  
 
Subscription will be FREE now, and for the foreseeable future. But even when (if ever) they start to charge a fee,  plenty of Boundless Play content will be available free to all subscribers, always.
