I agree with Josh.  I'd prefer to view the game as some sort of entity
which is acted upon by players, rather than the other way around.  The
game could be said to be the "gamestate"--the aggregate combination of
ruleset, agents, objects, and so forth which exist within it at any given
time.  Sort of a biological way of looking at it--that the game is not a
single object, but an environment within which objects and actions exist.
