All Sorts of Games

All through human history, people have played games. They've done so mostly to entertain themselves and others. Games are a form of self-expression, and also a means of training young people, and of reminding adults of the preferred values of the society in which they live.

Games can involve one person acting alone (e.g. puzzles), but usually involve two or more players or teams and can depend on chance, skill, or a combination of the two. Games can be defined as a form of recreation constituted by a set of rules that specify an object to be attained and the permitted means of attaining it. This covers most cases well, but does not quite fit with things like war games and sports that are often done not for entertainment but to build skills for later use.

Many technical fields are often applied to the study of games, including probability, statistics, economics, and game theory. Continued.
