What is game?
• A game is structured playing, usually undertaken for
enjoyment and sometimes used as an educational tool.
Games are distinct from work, which is usually carried
out for remuneration, and from art, which is more
often an expression of aesthetic or ideological
elements. However, the distinction is not clear-cut,
and many games are also considered to be work (such
as professional players of spectator sports/games) or
art (such as jigsaw puzzles or games involving an
artistic layout such as Mahjong, solitaire, or some
video games).
