game definition and meaning

What is "game"?

The term "game" typically refers to wild animals or birds that are hunted for sport or food. Game animals may include deer, elk, moose, rabbits, and various types of birds such as pheasants and quail. The activity of hunting game has been a part of human culture for thousands of years, and many countries have established laws and regulations to ensure that hunting is conducted in a sustainable and ethical manner. In some cases, games may also refer to the flesh of the animals that have been hunted, which is often considered a delicacy and can be prepared in a variety of ways, including roasting, grilling, or stewing.
