[game_edu] Another game definition question

[Dan Carreker]

I'm curious. The word "Game" has multiple meanings in English; it 
encompasses contests, puzzles, play activities, gambling, trivial 
activities, and amusing activities. But what about in other languages?  I 
assume not every cultures lump all these activities together; is anyone 
aware of how what we consider the entire spectrum of games are 
classified/defined in the non-English speaking parts of the world?
