Game (simulation)

Game (simulation)

The term game is used to refer to simulation or reenactment various activities or "real life" for various purposes: training, analysis, or prediction.Well-known examples are war games and roleplaying.

The root of this meaning actually originates in the human prehistory of games deduced by anthropology from observing primitive cultures, where children's games in a significant degree mimic activities of adults: hunting, warring, nursing, etc. In fact, these kinds of games are preserved even in modern times.
