Games can be characterized by “what the player does”. This is often referred to as gameplay. Major key elements identified in this context are tools and rules that define the overall context of game.
Many game tools are tokens, meant to represent other things. A token may be a pawn on a board, play money, or an intangible item such as a point scored.
