Skill-based games – What are they?
By Paweł Pietrasieński and Piotr Zwierzyk
Summary
Skill-based games, mobile Esports, cash tournaments, mobile competitive Esports, casual eSports, competitive games, paid competitive games, and real money games - to name a few, are all names of one genre.
Already mentioned, arcade games can be listed as skill games.
We can have a basketball game that focuses on shooting 3-pointers, a baseball game where we're hitters.
Sports games are also present in skill gaming in the form of fantasy sports, where players use real-life game data to create their teams.
Card games arouse discussions and even controversies - as those types of games are usually associated with gambling.
Skill-based game platforms offer all the games in a practice mode.
We make simplifications, which do not tend to overthrow chess as a skill game but to indicate the difficulty of whether a given game is a pure game of skill.
