I live in Lymington, Hampshire, and work in the Law Courts, which may have made my English slightly pedantic. I realize that Americans and other ex-colonials labour under a disadvantage, and regard it as an holy duty to assist them in speaking (and thinking) clearly.

Jul 12	comment	What makes a cooperative board game actually a game? @AlexP: that's because publishers, wanting to sell games, have to have a winner. But there's no reason you couldn't have a whole team playing a 'solitaire' scenario, so that the 'firefighters' win as a team, or are defeated by the system/dicerolls. Anything less competitive than that can't really be called a game, IMHO.
