Background. Taking Klabbers’ call for a coherent game science as a starting point, we argue for an alternative way to approach the multidisciplinarity of research into games. Aim. Building on game studies and design research, this article reviews the history and forecasts the future of studying games. Application. All scholars of games could benefit from an awareness of the works of other game scholars in different traditions. The plurality of approaches towards games is an intellectual strength, even if it is difficult for a single scholar to maintain a holistic grasp on research relating to ‘games’. The multitude not only describes the disciplinary traditions reflecting the wider phenomenon of games and play, but also games as creative practice. Demonstration. While the article is theoretical in nature, we use real-world examples to illustrate and ground the argumentation. For example, a key challenge identified here is that the realm of games and their influence, the ludosphere, is expanding too rapidly for any single researcher to keep up with it. Conclusions. We invite game scholars to cultivate a stronger awareness of the multitude of research into games to better position their own work in a larger context.

... Specific role-playing aspects have caused a "drop down" effect whereby RPGs feed upon common themes and tropes to impact gaming as a whole (Byers and Crocco, 2016). This work has emphasized that RPGs often incorporate diverse cultural elements, allowing players to engage with and appreciate different cultural perspectives MacCallum-Stewart et al., 2018;Fraile-Jurado, 2024). ...

... The ludosphere of quantum physics-related games, meaning the realm of games, design, players, and culture surrounding them [8], can only be expected to grow. Attempts to describe the creative process behind quantum game development and therefore initialise an important discussion have so far been limited [9][10][11], but they underline the need for a vocabulary to discuss these games, their use and development. ...
