Definition of a game:
WikipediaA game is any activity undertaken or regarded as a contest involving luck, skill, or a combination of both, and played according to a set of rules for the enjoyment of the players or spectators.
A strategy game is a game where players’ decision-making skills have a high significance in determining the outcome of the game.
These decision-making skills do not occur by accident; game designers create games to generate specific actions, behaviors, and outcomes.
