Games

Games are a form of interactive entertainment that can be enjoyed solo or with others, ranging from card and tabletop games to video and mobile games. Video games, often played on consoles, PCs, or smartphones, can be large commercial products or small indie projects, and single-player games typically tell stories that can last from a few hours to over 100 hours. Multiplayer games, popular for both casual and professional play, can be cooperative or competitive and are sometimes broadcast online or on TV.
