A game of skill is a game where the outcome is determined mainly by mental 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 people 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.
