If you are still confused about the full scope of games, try this wonderful quote from Bernie DeKoven's must
have book The Well-Played Game:
"For me, the concept of games embraces those activities we know most
clearly to be games: —football, cat's cradle, gin rummy, peek-a-boo.
These are clearly games. Eating, making love, walking, reading, though
they can be done playfully, though they can even be found as parts of
some games, aren't, in themselves, games. I consider a game to be
something that provides us with a common goal, the achievement of
which has no bearing on anything that is outside the game. Winning at
checkers does not make you a better lover."

What do you mean by "spiritual" in this context?
- The essence of spirituality is the fundamental notion that there is more to all of this than a
random assemblage of cosmic dust -- there is spirit.
- In respect to the wondrous diversity through which this belief has expressed itself in words,
thoughts, and teachings, we shall allow the definition of "spiritual" to remain fuzzy. In other words,
by not restricting the definition of spiritual to fit just a single point of view we leave it open
to accommodate all.
