Summary/Abstract: The game is, without doubt, a complex human activity and can be observed from several aspects. The phenomenon of game is still studied, and new discovery of the importance of the game, this area and its issues make more difficult, sometimes, with a lot of inconsistencies and contradictory to the results of research. Game activities can not be defined and explained by a single mechanism, nor are all determined by the same set of conditions. ''The term ''game'' has long been a linguistic waste basket, for behavior that looks voluntarily, but it can not be seen that there is a clear biological or social use. '' (Millar, 1972, 11) The fact is that elusiveness of game drives the most from the fact that it is, on the one hand, occurs in a specific way woven into all human activity, on the other hand we try to get to be its specificity to form ogre distinguish from other life activities and form, then came to the forefront of its far-reaching autonomy. '' the game is based outside dichotomy wisdom-madness, truth-falsehood, beyond good and evil. '' (Huizinga, 1970, 16) Motives of the game, the essential properties, and its purpose is difficult to understand and explain with the rational terms. For this, somehow it is more favorable metaphorical language literature. It might be worth to construct a new conceptual system that deeply illuminate what we know about the man, and comprehend the game in a way that suits her nature. '' The game combines what is contradictory in ordinary life, and of these compounds arise unexpected, special quality. At the same time, the civilization appears as a complete game, as the game of games. '' (Caillois, 1965, 138.) Sometimes the game becomes, and this is only at first glance, as useless and meaningless human activity, without purpose and objective, but it becomes most useful when we realize that it just inflames our life grill and makes it at times forget the phenomenon of death.
