A game of skill is a game where the outcome is determined mainly by mental and/or physical skill, rather than by pure chance. One benefit of games of skill is that they are a means of exploring one’s own capabilities.

Games encourage the player to look at, understand, and experience things. They teach people lessons about themselves and possibly the world, and allow such insights to be passed on to others.

Most skill games, though, can be broken into five major categories, based on the type of game and the skills that it requires to be successful playing it:

• Arcade games
• Board games
• Puzzle games
• Word games
• Casino skill games

Some of these obviously spill over into other skill game categories, as many share characteristics, game play, rules, etc.
