A simulation game is a game that is intended to simulate the world, or an aspect of it.

A game of skill is a game where the outcome is determined mainly by mental and/or physical skill, rather than by pure chance.
Games may be classified and sub-classified according to many different criteria. Each scheme has its own advantages and disadvantages. The categories on the main game page is rather a hodge-podge, and might benefit from some rationalization. However, before undertaking to refactor the game pages, please give thought to all of the following distinctions.
