A game is a structured or semi-structured
activity, usually undertaken for enjoyment and sometimes also used as an
educational tool. Games are generally distinct from work, which is usually
carried out for remuneration, and from art, which is more concerned with the
expression of ideas. However, the distinction is not clear-cut, and many games
are also considered to be work or art.
