Collaborative games: Lessons learned from board games."

In traditional game theory - competitive or cooperattive games.

Issues
- tension between indivisual and team
- communication method
- feeling of collaboration in games.

Also, there might be some kind of tension between indivisual and team, if the player don't understand 'what is a collaborative game" or player want to be a winer indivisually.
