One of the aims of the Transactions of the Digital Games Research Association (ToDiGRA) is to collect the best received work presented at the DiGRA conferences. This special issue collects some of the highlights from the 2015 edition of the DiGRA conference held in Lüneburg, Germany (May 14-17). The conference theme of “Diversity of play: Games – Cultures – Identities” invited for submissions that reflect upon the diversity of games and gaming and this compilation features some of the best work on that. As usual, the invited keynote speeches are not an integral part of the Transactions. We did however publish the keynotes in a separate open access publication that you might want to read in parallel with the peer-reviewed articles. You can find the booklet with the tile “Diversity of Play” (ed Mathias Fuchs) that has been published by meson press in Lüneburg for free download at:
