Play with Structure is Game. The greater the Depth or Degree to that Structure, the more Game-like the Play is. And because Structure exists in Degrees, it can sometimes be at a level that is unapparent during Play. In these cases, Game still exists, even if only through implication, through the simple interaction of Play and Structure. Such an interaction "creates" Game to satisfy its nature, even if no Game defined as such is apparent to the participants.
