Key components of games are goals, rules, challenge, and interaction. Games generally involve mental or physical stimulation, and often both. Many games help develop practical skills, serve as a form of [[exercise]], or otherwise perform an educational, simulational or [[psychological]] role. According to Chris Crawford, the requirement for player interaction puts activities such as jigsaw puzzles and solitaire "games" into the category of puzzles rather than games.[1]

Each and all of us [[play]] the '''game''' of [[truth]] in every encounter with our [[Friends|fellows]]. The field is endless and the rules are [[simple]], no one wins [[alone]]; the prize awaits the [[moment]] when we all have won together. The [[sphere]] with which we play is [[glorious]], but ever [[changing]], and with each pass it advances or retreats in splendor, depending on how it is thrown. Some think it should be thrown 'at' another, but of course, it is 'to' them we toss it in advancing levels of [[art]]ful exchange for it is in this sphere we see in vivid [[color]] the [[reflection]] of our [[evolving]] and [[collective]] [[soul]].
