Skill Games

This term may seem generic. However, skill games are those that have a certain outcome defined by some particular skill like mental or physical, not luck.

In other words, skill games are the opposite of gambling. When we talk about bad luck, we are referring to those that have a result defined solely by luck as dice, spinning tops, casinos, some card games, roulette and even lotteries. There is no way of predicting the outcome, which is only a matter of luck.

Already a game of skill does not have the element "luck" in a prominent way, as occurs as poker. In the vast majority of games, there is no such factor. All result is generated by player skills.

To exemplify these types of games we have:

• Backgammon
• Mahjong
• Chess
• Contract Bridge
• Checkers

If you are in a poker game and believe that you are facing gambling, I need to tell you that this is not true.

Already Mahjong, is a Chinese game of pieces, which came to the west only in 1920, however, its popularization was very fast.

This is because all the strategy and memorization involved training our brain and bring many long term benefits.

But as you look at the "little pieces" you draw, your head can spin and you wonder: How do I play this?

Calm down, only the formatting is different, as the gameplay itself is similar to another very Brazilian game.

The canasta, or hole, because the goal is the same: to find the same designs (or suits), whether in pairs, trios or blocks.
