Games can be considered as open texts in the sense suggested by Umberto Eco, this gives rise to the concept of model readers. We can therefore postulate a question as to the existence of such an entity as a model game player. This paper suggests that there is indeed a model game player however, not as a single entity, but rather a composite of many different competences and expectations. A suggested taxonomy of model gamers is discussed, and the benefits of the application of these models are indicated, further research lines are also presented.
