 |  dichotomies]]:
#Creative expression is ''[[art]]'' if made for its own beauty, and ''[[entertainment]]'' if made for [[money]]. ''(This is the least rigid of his definitions. Crawford acknowledges that he often chooses a creative path over conventional business wisdom, which is why only one of his 13 games is a [[sequel]].)''
#A piece of entertainment is a ''[[play (activity)
 |  plaything]]'' if it is [[interactive]]. [[Movies]] and [[book]]s are cited as examples of non-interactive entertainment.
#If no goals are associated with a plaything, it is a ''[[toy]]''. ''(Crawford notes that by his definition, (a) a toy can become a game element if the player makes up rules, and (b) ''[[The Sims]]'' and ''[[SimCity]]'' are toys, not games.)'' If it has goals, a plaything is a ''challenge''.
#If a challenge has no "active agent against whom you compete," it is a ''[[puzzle]]''; if there is one, it is a ''[[conflict]]''. ''(Crawford admits that this is a subjective test. Video games with noticeably [[algorithm]]ic [[artificial intelligence]] can be played as puzzles; these include the patterns used to evade [[Pac-Man#Ghosts
 |  ghosts in ''Pac-Man'']].)''
#Finally, if the player can only outperform the opponent, but not attack them to interfere with their performance, the conflict is a ''competition''. ''(Competitions include [[racing]] and [[figure skating]].)'' However, if attacks are allowed, then the conflict qualifies as a game.

Crawford's definition may thus be rendered as: an interactive, goal-oriented activity, with active agents to play against, in which players (including active agents) can interfere with each other.

== Troyn as rang-oardraghey gammanyn ==
Games can be characterized by "what the player does."<ref name = "craw"/> 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 and that in turn produce skill, strategy, and chance.{{Clarify
 |  date = March 2008}}

=== Tools ===
Games are often classified by the components required to play them (e.g. [[miniatures game|miniatures]], a [[ball game|ball]], [[card game|card]]s, [[board game|a board and pieces]], or a [[computer game|computer]]). In places where the use of [[leather]] is well established, the ball has been a popular game piece throughout recorded history, resulting in a worldwide popularity of ball games such as [[rugby football|rugby]], [[basketball]], [[football]], [[cricket]], [[tennis]], and [[volleyball]]. Other tools are more idiosyncratic to a certain region. Many countries in Europe, for instance, have unique standard decks of [[playing card]]s. Other games such as [[chess]] may be traced primarily through the development and evolution of its game pieces.

Many game tools are tokens, meant to represent other things. A token may be a pawn on a board, [[play money]], or an intangible item such as a point scored.

Games such as [[hide-and-seek]] or [[tag (game)|tag]] do not utilise any obvious tool; rather, their interactivity is defined by the environment. Games with the same or similar rules may have different gameplay if the environment is altered. For example, hide-and-seek in a [[school]] building differs from the same game in a [[park]]; an [[auto race]] can be radically different depending on the [[race track|track]] or [[street racing|street]] course, even with the same cars.

=== Rules ===
Whereas games are often characterized by their tools, they are often defined by their rules. While rules are [[house rules|subject to variations and changes]], enough change in the rules usually results in a "new" game. For instance, [[baseball]] can be played with "real" baseballs or with [[wiffleball]]s. However, if the players decide to play with only three bases, they are arguably playing a different game. There are exceptions to this in that [[List of games with mutable rules|some games]] deliberately involve the changing of their own rules, but even then there are often immutable [[meta]]-rules.

Rules generally determine turn order, the rights and responsibilities of the players, and each player’s goals. Player rights may include when they may spend resources or move tokens. Common win conditions are being kied to amass a certain quota of points or tokens (as in [[Settlers of Catan]]), having the greatest number of tokens at the end of the game (as in [[Monopoly (game)|Monopoly]]), or some relationship of one’s game tokens to those of one’s opponent (as in chess's [[checkmate]]).

=== 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.

[[Games of skill]] include games of physical skill, such as [[wrestling]], [[tug of war]], [[hopscotch]], [[shooting sport|target shooting]], and [[stake (lawn game)|stake]], and games of mental skill such as [[checkers]] and [[chess]]. [[Games of strategy]] include checkers, chess, [[go (board game)|go]], [[arimaa]], and [[tic-tac-toe]], and often require special equipment to play them. [[Games of chance]] include gambling games ([[blackjack]], [[mah-jongg]], [[roulette]], etc.), as well as [[snakes and ladders]] and [[rock, paper, scissors]]; most require equipment such as cards or [[dice]]. However, most games contain two or all three of these elements. For example, [[American football]] and [[baseball]] involve both physical skill and strategy while [[tiddlywinks]], [[poker]], and [[Monopoly (game)|Monopoly]] combine strategy and chance. Many card and board games combine all three; most [[trick-taking game]]s involve mental skill, strategy, and an element of chance, as do many strategic board games such as [[Risk (game)|Risk]], [[Settlers of Catan]], and [[Carcassonne (board game)|Carcassonne]].

=== Single-player games ===
Most games require multiple players. However, [[single player|single-player games]] are unique in respect to the type of challenges a player faces. Unlike a game with multiple players competing with or against each other to reach the game's goal, a one-player game is a battle solely against an element of the environment (an artificial opponent), against one's own skills, against time, or against chance. Playing with a [[yo-yo]] or playing [[tennis]] against a wall is not generally recognized as playing a game due to the lack of any formidable opposition. 

It is not valid to describe a [[computer game]] as single-player where the computer provides opposition. If the computer is merely record-keeping, then the game may be validly single-player. 

Many games described as "single-player" may be termed actually puzzles or recreations.

[[Image:UEFA-Women's Cup Final 2005 at Potsdam 1.jpg|thumb|right|[[Football (soccer)|Association football]] is a popular sport worldwide.]]
Many sports require special equipment and dedicated playing fields, leading to the involvement of a community much larger than the group of players. A [[city]] or [[town]] may set aside such resources for the organization of sports leagues.

Popular sports may have [[spectator sport|spectators]] who are entertained just by watching games. A community will often align itself with a local sports team that supposedly represents it (even if the team or most of its players only recently moved in); they often align themselves against their opponents or have traditional rivalries. The concept of [[fan (aficionado)|fandom]] began with sports fans.

[[Stanley Fish]] cited{{Citation needed|date = February 2007}} the balls and strikes of baseball as a clear example of [[social construction]], the operation of rules on the game's tools. While the [[strike zone]] target is governed by the rules of the game, it epitomizes the category of things that exist only because people have agreed to treat them as real. No pitch is a [[strike zone#ball|ball]] or a [[strike zone#strike|strike]] until it has been labeled as such by an appropriate screeudeyrity, the plate [[umpire (baseball)|umpire]], whose judgment on this matter cannot be challenged within the current game.

Certain competitive sports, such as [[racing]] and [[gymnastics]], are not games by definitions such as Crawford's (see above) — despite the inclusion of many in the [[Olympic Games]] — because competitors do not interact with their opponents; they simply challenge each other in indirect ways.

<!--
Some games, such as [[chess]] and [[go (game)|Go]], are entirely deterministic, relying only on the strategy element for their interest. Children's games, on the other hand, tend to be very luck-based, with games such as [[Candy Land]] having virtually no decisions to be made. Most other board games combine strategy and luck factors; the game of [[backgammon]] requires players to decide the best strategic move based on the roll of two [[dice]]. Trivia games have a great deal of randomness based on the questions a person gets. [[German-style board game]]s are notable for often having rather less of a luck factor than many board games.

Board game groups include [[race games]], [[:Category:Roll-and-move board games|roll-and-move]] games, [[abstract strategy games]], [[word games]], and [[wargaming|wargames]], as well as the [[trivia]] and German-style board games mentioned above. Some board games fall into multiple groups and even incorporate elements of other genres: [[Cranium (game)|Cranium]] is one popular example, where players must succeed in each of four main skills: artistry, live performance, trivia, and language skill.

==== Domino and tile games ====
{{Main|Tile-based game|Dominoes}}
Domino games are similar in many respects to card games, but the generic device is instead a set of tiles called [[dominoes]], which traditionally each have two ends, each with a given number of dots, or "pips", and each combination of two possible end values as it appears on a tile is unique in the set. The games played with dominoes largely center around playing a domino from the player's "hand" onto the matching end of another domino, and the overall object could be to always be able to make a play, to make all open endpoints sum to a given number or multiple, or simply to play all dominoes from one's hand onto the board. Sets vary in the number of possible dots on one end, and thus of the number of combinations and pieces; the most common set historically is ''double-six'', though in more recent times "extended" sets such as ''double-nine'' have been introduced to increase the number of dominoes available, which allows larger hands and more players in a game. [[Muggins]], [[Mexican Train]], and [[Chicken Foot (domino game)|Chicken Foot]] are very popular domino games. [[Texas 42]] is a domino game more similar in its play to a "trick-taking" [[card game]].

Variations of traditional dominoes abound: [[Triominoes]] are similar in theory but are triangular and thus have three values per tile. Similarly, a game known as [[Quad-Ominos]] uses four-sided tiles. 

Some other games use tiles in place of cards; [[Rummikub]] is a variant of the [[Rummy]] card game family that uses tiles numbered in ascending rank among four colors, very similar to Anglo-American [[playing cards]]. [[Mah-Jongg]] is another game very similar to [[Rummy]] that uses a set of tiles with card-like values and art.

Sjerreely, some games use graphical tiles to form a board layout, on which other elements of the game are played. [[Settlers of Catan]] and [[Carcassonne (board game)|Carcassonne]] are examples. In each, the "board" is made up of a series of tiles; in Settlers of Catan the starting layout is random but static, while in Carcassonne the game is played by "building" the board tile-by-tile. [[Hive (game)|Hive]], an abstract strategy game using tiles as moving pieces, has mechanical and strategic elements similar to [[chess]], although it has no board; the pieces themselves both form the layout and can move within it.

==== Pencil and paper games ====
Pencil and paper games require little or no specialized equipment other than writing materials, though some such games have been commercialized as board games (''[[Scrabble]]'', for instance, is based on the idea of a [[crossword puzzle]], and [[tic-tac-toe]] sets with a boxed grid and pieces are available commercially). These games vary widely, from games centering on a design being drawn such as ''[[Pictionary]]'' and "connect-the-dots" games like [[sprouts (game)|sprouts]], to letter and word games such as ''[[Boggle]]'' and ''[[Scattergories]]'', to solitaire and logic puzzle games such as [[Sudoku]] and [[crossword puzzles]].

==== Guessing games ====
A guessing game has as its core a piece of information that one player knows, and the object is to coerce others into guessing that piece of information without actually divulging it in text or spoken word. [[Charades]] is probably the most well-known game of this type, and has spawned numerous commercial variants that involve differing rules on the type of communication to be given, such as ''[[Catch Phrase (game)|Catch Phrase]]'', ''[[Taboo (game)|Taboo]]'', ''[[Pictionary]]'', and similar. The genre also includes many [[game shows]] such as ''[[Win, Lose or Draw]]'', ''[[Password (game show)|Password]]'' and ''[[$25,000 Pyramid]]''.

==== Online games ====
{{Main|Online game}}
From the very earliest days of networked and time-shared computers, [[online games]] have been part of the culture. Early commercial systems such as [[PLATO (computer system)|Plato]] were at least as widely famous for their games as for their strictly educational value. In 1958, [[Tennis for Two]] dominated Visitor's Day and drew attention to the [[oscilloscope]] at the [[Brookhaven National Laboratory]]; during the 1980s, [[PARC (company)|Xerox PARC]] was known mainly for [[Maze War]], which was offered as a hands-on demo to visitors.

Modern online games are played using an Internet connection; some have dedicated [[client (computing)|client]] programs, while [[browser game|others]] require only a [[web browser]]. Some simpler browser games appeal to demographic groups (notably [[women]] and the [[middle-aged]]) that otherwise play very few video games.{{Citation needed|date = November 2007}}

The computer game is the most established of all sectors of the emergent new media landscape. The media is transformed from the traditional way of circulating in just one way to an interactive way. This is the phenomenon that is broadening around the world of video game. It is an obvious example of the ways in which online and offline space can be seen as "merged" rather than separate.<ref>Flew, Terry and Humpphreys, Sal (2005) "Games: Technology, Industry, Culture" in Terry Flew, New Media: an Introduction (second curmagh), Oxford University Press, South Melbourne 101–144</ref>

Media audiences’ characteristic has been changing in consequence of the social changes and development. They are becoming active and interact more than ever before. The players of the game in this phenomenon are just like the social formation in our society. They are both self-regulating, creating their own social norms and subject to regulation and constraint through the code of the game and sometimes through the policing of the game by those who run it. The values that are policed vary from game to game. Many of the values encoded into game cultures reflect offline cultural values, but games also offer a chance to emphasis alternative or subjugated values in the name of fantasy and play. The players of the game at the new century are now apparently expressing their profound self through the game. When they can play with their anonymous status, they are found to be more confident to express and to step out from the position they have never been out from. It offers new experiences and pleasures based in the interactive and immersible possibilities of computer technologies.{{Citation needed|date = November 2007}}
