Gaming as a teaching tool

Just had to pass on this short article about gaming as a teaching tool. I've grown up with games. But then games have been around for thousands of years and are often designed at their core to teach us something. Monopoly teaches basic maths and cncepts of buying and selling. Snap teaches about comparisons between objects in terms of looks and value.

So whilst I saw heavy criticism in the comments I feel that we all inherently know and accept that games are a natural and crucial part of learning. .
