game theory perspectives

system -- (formal) set of rules
relation -- between player and game (affectionate)
context -- negotiable relation with 'real world'

dictionary

classic game model

rules: formal system
outcome: variable and quantifiable
value: different valorisation assignments
effort: in order to influence the outcome
attachment: emotionally attached to outcome (hooked)
consequences: optional and negotiable (profit?)

rules vs fiction

Game fiction is ambiguous, optional and imagined by the player in uncontrollable and unpredictable ways, but the emphasis on fictional worlds may be the strongest innovation of the video game.
