Abstract		The following sketches a theory of time in games. This is motivated by: 1) plain curiosity; 2) theoretical lack: much work has been done on time in other cultural forms, but there is very little theory of time in games; 3) the hope that a theory of game time may help us examine specific games, help trace the historical development of games, connect to the big question of how a game feeds player experiences, and generally serve as an analytical tool for opening other discussions in game studies and game design.
