Kelley (1988) and Salen and Zimmerman (2003) also define games as a system with rules, conflict, and a quantifiable outcome. It is free movement within a more rigid structure.

3.

From the research, a game can be defined as a voluntary rule-based activity that motivates the player to achieve a goal state or quantifiable outcome via conflict with others or self

4.

These are the "core" elements of any true game. Borderline cases of games include:

Skill-based gambling (consequences are pre-negotiated)

Chance-based gambling (no player effort, consequences are pre-negotiated)

Pen and paper role-playing (flexible rules)

Open-ended simulations (No valorization of outcome)

5.

An educational game, one designed for learning, is a subset of both play and fun. It is a melding of educational content, learning principles, and computer games (Prensky, 2001). Digital game-based learning is organized to provide both education and pleasure. Play relaxes people, putting them in a receptive state for learning.
