2. Games Definition
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.

3. In his Philosophical Investigations, Wittgenstein demonstrated that the
elements (parts) of games, such as play, rules, and competition, all fail to
correctly define what games are.

Wittgenstein

7. Other Definitions
"A game is a system in which players engage in an artificial
conflict, defined by rules, that results in a quantifiable
outcome". (Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman)
"A game is a form of play with goals
and structure". (Kevin Maroney)

8. Gameplay Elements
and Classification
Games can be characterized by "what the
player does." This is often referred to as
gameplay. Major key elements identified in
this context are tools and rules that define
the overall context of game.

Games are often classified by the components
required to play them (e.g. miniatures, a ball,
cards, a board and pieces, or a computer).

10. Rules
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.

played on a lawn; an area of mowed grass (or
alternately, on graded soil) generally smaller
than a "field" or pitch.

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.
Board Games

20. Card games use a deck of cards as their central
tool. Uno and Rook are examples of games that
were originally played with a standard deck
and have since been commercialized with
customized decks.
Card Games

21. Dice games use a number of dice as
their central element. Board games
often use dice for a randomization
element, and thus each roll of the
dice has a profound impact on the
outcome of the game.

respects to card games, but the generic
device is instead a set of tiles called
dominoes. Some other games use tiles
in place of cards.
