Game is a type of activity that involves interaction, skill, chance, endurance, and decision-making among two or more players, usually for entertainment purposes. A game is also an art form. Games may take different forms and are popular in many cultures. The term game is derived from the works of Friedrich Georg Junger and Johan Huizinga.

A game may be played with or without other people. The objective is usually to defeat the other players or to reach a certain goal in a short time. There are many different types of games, including competitions, role-playing, cooperation, and role-playing. Some examples of games include swan games and red deer games.

Games provide entertainment for players and bring positive emotions into reality. The main difference between games and other forms of entertainment is that a game involves interactive behavior and is always changing in course. This means that the player can change the outcome of the game at any time. This is very different from a movie or a television show where the characters are static and unmoving.

A game may have many different categories based on its tools or rules. Some games may require skill, strategy, or luck to win, while others may require only a simple understanding of the rules.
