I am sorry that it was not clear enough. I consciously attempted to distinguish between fine games and good games.

It is the same subject as the article. There is only about 100 words describing fine art in another medium inspiring the medium of the game; whereas, there are 2000 describing how a game may potentially qualify as a fine game, and that there have been fine games. E.g., Chess (boardgame), Lost Cities (card game), Seven-card stud poker (card game), Civilization (computer strategy game), ChuChu rocket (arcade game).

The definition of fun in the article is enjoyable gameplay.
