Thus we have stakes (enjeux) which are the most part the product of the competition between players.
We have an investment in the game, illusio (from ludus, the game): players are taken in by the game, they oppose one another, sometimes with ferocity, only to the extent that they concur in their belief (doxa) in the game and its takes; they grant these a recognition that escapes questioning.
Players agree, by the mere fact of playing, that it is "worth the candle", and this cullusion is the very basis of their competition.
