This book was definitely "more scenes". I suspect the original "scenes" would have been a more interesting book. It deals with life and events in a small agricultural family. It's about planting things, clearing hedges, draining, taking the pigs for slaughter.

By "games" it means any activity that is not direct in it's intent, e.g. giving a complement in the hope of getting a complement in return. I'm not sure what I think of this. Psychology as a hard science has to face the problem that people are complex beings who aren't as simple as sub-atomic particles. The book makes some interesting points but, for me, doesn't deal with uncertainty or multiple motivations well.
