I don't think that there is a difference between games of mental skill and strategy games. Go and chess are both games with a big amount of literature that analyzes the strategy of the game while both games also require the high concentration that characterizes mental skill.[[User:Christian Kleineidam|Christian Kleineidam]] 10:17, 31 December 2007 (CST)

This sow's ear is undergoing a makeover. Please join in! - Peter Blake 22:20, 14 November 2006 (CST)

step one--not all games are intended for enjoyment. Some are intended as practice, such as war games in the military. I've added. but am not sure how to distinguish from those he _are_ played for enjoyment, especially as some of them are now actually the same game.DavidGoodman 13:45, 30 November 2006 (CST)

links

some of the links are a little odd: "Work" redirects to "Manual labor", which is wholly inadequate, "Bridge" redirects to "Contract bridge" while "bridge" redirects to "bridge game" etc. But as we change redirects the structure will change gradually from WP, and there will no longer be a one to one correspondence of the articles. This will at some point be unavoidable, but here it is already--and this has implication for how we are going to do the updates. This has also been posted to the Basic conversion issues (technical) Forum. DavidGoodman 14:12, 30 November 2006 (CST)

Type of games

I don't think that there is a difference between games of mental skill and strategy games. Go and chess are both games with a big amount of literature that analyzes the strategy of the game while both games also require the high concentration that characterizes mental skill.Christian Kleineidam 10:17, 31 December 2007 (CST)

Ah, but there are "logic games" that are all mental skill, card games that utilize strategy and not necessarily mental skill, games that involve "pure strategy" such as 'Risk'... --Robert W King 10:19, 31 December 2007 (CST)
