Game

Magic: the Gathering is a game, a form of competitive activity played according to certain rules. Specifically, it is a turn-based trading card game.
 		 	
A game is also a single portion of play forming a scoring unit in a match between (at least) two players. While you have full control of the selection of your cards, your deck never exists in a vacuum. One half of a game of Magic is a constant, and the other is a variable that changes with every opponent.

==Game Points==
Game points are similar to match points in that players earn 3 game points for each game they win 1 point for each game that ends in a draw, and 0 points for any game lost. Unfinished games are considered draws. Unplayed games are worth 0 points.
;Examples
*A player wins a match 2–0–0, so they earn 6 game points, and their opponent receives 0 game points from the match.
*A player wins a match 2–1–0, so they earn 6 game points, and their opponent earns 3 game points from the match.
*A player wins a match 2–0–1, so they earn 7 game points, and their opponent earns 1 game point from the match.
Game points are not used in team tournaments; only the overall result of the match is used for tiebreakers.
