carried out for remuneration, and from art, which
is more often an expression of aesthetic or
ideological elements.

Whereas games are often characterized by their tools, they are
often defined by their rules. While rules are subject to
variations and changes, enough change in the rules usually
results in a "new" game.
11. Skill, Strategy And
Chance
A game’s tools and rules will result in its requiring
skill, strategy, luck, or a combination thereof, and
are classified accordingly.
12. Most games require multiple players.
However, single-player games are
unique in respect to the type of
challenges a player faces.

19. Board games use as a central tool a board on which
the players' status, resources, and progress are
tracked using physical tokens. Many also involve
dice or cards.

tool. Uno and Rook are examples of games that
were originally played with a standard deck
and have since been commercialized with
customized decks.

their central element. Board games

dice has a profound impact on the
outcome of the game.
