While the notion of the ludeme as a fundamental element of play appears to be widely accepted, its exact interpretation can vary with each individual practitioner. This paper explores the key properties of ludemes and existing models within which they are understood, and describes how a computational approach might help clarify what is and what is not a ludeme and ultimately lead to a more precise definition of this evasive term.
