I like "agency" because it splits off the idea of "playing well" from playing on a competitive level to being able to engage the game fully.
IMO the point of game design is to get players to a place of agency in the quickest way possible. The smoother the path, the more accomplished the design.
Be that as it may, for the adult and responsible human being play is a function which he could equally well leave alone. Play is superfluous. The need for it is only urgent to the extent that the enjoyment of it makes it a need. Play can be deferred or sus pended at any time. It is never imposed by physical n�cessity or moral duty. It is never a task. It is done at leisure, during "free time" . Only when play is a recognized cultural function-a rite, a ceremony-is it bound up with notions of obligation and duty. - J. Huizinga, Homo Ludens (p.8)
A reliable thought to distinguish Enjoyment from Play and ordinary life.

The perspective of a Legend: Reiner Knizia
-“Brain trials” as first draft, until get excited
-Play test is the lifeblood of game design
-Games reflect our life
-Avoid "curse of the ideas" to create a product
-We are sitting around the table as equals in board games
