Drawing on Kendon´s F-formation framework of social interaction, we analysed the game-space activity of collocated players engaged in a
tangible multiplayer game. Game input from groups of 3 players interacting competitively in a natural spatial arrangement via balance-boards requiring whole-body movements was logged and analysed quantitatively. The spatial analysis of a range of players´ activities in game-space revealed synergistic effects combining
perceptual-motor factors with game-strategy behaviour which were reflected in preferred game-board playing regions. The findings
illustrate the importance for HCI designers of considering interactions between human spatial behaviour, physical space and virtual game-space as games become increasingly embodied
and social
