What makes a game?

Simplest definition I'm getting to is:

Specific goals with a limitation of how they can be achieved.

A game is more than just goals and limitations. It's an experience that blends challenge, choice, and engagement. It's about crafting a journey where players navigate rules and make strategic decisions, all while being immersed in a compelling narrative or capturing moments of joy.
