Since the outcome is certain, it doesn’t seem to fit Roger Caillois’ definition. Chris Crawford would call it “art” since it is made “for its own beauty” or a “toy” since it has “no goals”. It doesn’t fit Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman’s definition since there is no conflict, Greg Costikyan’s definition since you don’t manage resources, Clark C. Abt’s definition since there is only one decision-maker, Elliot Avedon and Brian Sutton-Smith’s definition since there is no “opposition between forces”, or Kevin Maroney’s definition since there is no goal.

Or maybe I just didn’t understand it.
