help - feedback - sponsor this guide People using the search term "games" are usually looking for Web portal featuring free online games with multiple players or Web sites featuring video and computer games such as the enormously popular Grand Theft Auto series or The Sims. However, games is a very ambiguous search term, and it can be just as relevant to people looking for information about board games, card games, online casino games, lotteries such as the California Lottery and the multi-state Powerball Lottery, children's playtime activities, sports such as football, baseball, and golf, specific athletic competitions such as the Olympics, the Commonwealth Games, and the Asian Games, and even fantasy sports such as fantasy football. Generally speaking, games are thought of as a form of recreation or entertainment, but games can be very serious business, as is the case with war games and scholarly game theory. Ironically enough, scholarly game theory tends to focus on how game players can get away with cheating, but common to all games is a more or less fixed or agreed upon set of rules which defines the "object of the game" and the manner in which play should proceed. In the final analysis, what distinguishes serious games from "fun and games" is a matter of semantics as well as personal and cultural values.
