Game analysis assignment

Check out this undergraduate class assignment in a course at Middlebury. I wish I could say that my students (graduate students, remember) would be capable of responding to such an assignment, but I don’t think that many of them could do so. Still, eventually most of our students will be capable of doing this kind of work, what then will theology consist in?

This makes me think of James P. Carse's Finite and Infinite Games.
"There are at least two kinds of games. One might be called finite, the other infinite. A finite game if played for the purpose of winning, an infinite game is for the purpose of continuing the play."
This is what theology and the spiritual life is about isn't it? The infinite game? Carse ends this book with: "There is but one infinite game."
