Abstract: What are the motivations and the aims behind the interest in game taxonomy? What are the objectives we want to reach? By taking these questions and some possible answers as a starting point, systems and classification criteria, commonly used in the field of game, are considered and analyzed. The possible coexistence of various systems in a general structure which unifies and includes them all, is then examined. Many existing games taken as examples. To conclude, this article basically deals with some hypotheses which might be used to define a general taxonomy and which might also include the classification of existing games.
