A
game is an (often, but not always recreational) activity
involving one or more players. This can be defined
by either a goal that the players try to reach, or
some set of rules that determines what the players
can or can not do. Games are played primarily for
entertainment or enjoyment, but may also serve as
exercise or in an educational, simulational or psychological
role.Games can involve one player acting alone, or
two or more players acting cooperatively. Most often
involve competition among two or more players. Taking
an action that falls outside the rules generally constitutes
a foul or cheating.
All through human history, people have played games
to entertain themselves and others. There are an enormous
variety of games; for specific information about different
types of games, see the links at the end of this article.
Although Games have been played for thousands of years,
many people do not know as much as we believe about
them. Things such as how they were invented and why
are all matters of the human races of knowledge not
yet understood today in the 21st century. |
