The document discusses the use of multi-level design games to address challenges in developing complex systems. It provides three reasons for using such games: 1) They make complexity and ambiguity fun instead of frustrating, 2) They create a shared language for cross-functional teams, and 3) They help enforce design scope by changing rules between levels. The document suggests multi-level games can help design super-systems that include business, ecosystem, organization, and brand models.
