A game is a standardised mode of play that is mostly done for amusement or recreation, but may also be used for educational purposes.

Games differ from work, which is normally done for a monetary reward, and art, which is most frequently an expression of aesthetic or ideological values.
However, the boundary between work and play is fuzzy, and often games are still called work (for example, professional spectator sports or games) or art (such as jigsaw puzzles or games involving an artistic layout such as Mahjong, solitaire, or some video games).
