Changes: Game

Latest revision as of 21:06, 13 February 2011

We define a game to be an organized mental exercise with a set of rules and any number of participants. Under this definition, chess, solitaire, tic-tac-toe, crossword puzzles, and Super Mario Bros. are all games. Basketball is much more physical than mental, but as there is strategy involved, it is still a game. Calvinball is not a game in this sense.

(Of course, nobody will seriously argue that sports are not a form of game, but the fact of the matter is that our slightly artificial definition is just more practical.)
