Today I'm joined by two social scientists to address the question: is science a game? Michael Penkler, Stefan Sulzenbacher, and Stephan Voss recently published an article on this topic: Playing science: representing and doing research in board games. After a brief discussion of the way that philosophers have considered science a game, the article looks at 3 board games that simulate science.

Michael and Stefan join me to discuss their article, and what looking at science as a game can teach us about how science works.

Here's a link to the article: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09505431.2026.2630948
