The present work investigates the user s understanding when in contact with a digital game. Making use of semiotic s tools, the work proposes a language of games the Gamish, that carries three possible levels of communication between the gamer and the game: Perception Level; Contact Level; and Interaction Level. Each of these represents a degree of the gamer s involvement with the game. Understanding Gamish is a way to try to explain what makes a gamer keep playing, instead of looking for some other form of entertainment. For the present disertation, the casual digital games were the object chosen for study; these games pervade daily life activities, among people of all ages. A theoretical foundation is presented to reinforce the idea that non-digital and digital games equally have the same characteristics at their core. This work shows na evolution of these games and their signs, making a semiotic reading of these signs. Finally, it shows how one plays nowadays, easier and with more acceptance than ever before, decoding the information carried in the games. It concludes that games are more played because more people speak gamish.
