     @evan it depends. Going for a run/swim/bike ride/skiing alone is not a game, only when you make it a competition. @muddle

     @kleisli @muddle Oh, is it only a game if it's a competition?

     @evan for these examples yes, IMO. You can also make it a competition with yourself, when you try to run faster or longer. But if you run because it makes you feel good, it's not a game.
     Other sports like tennis or football are always a game. Tennis can even be a collaborative game when you try to pass the ball as much as possible.

     @kleisli @muddle I think going for a run is a game. It has rules.
