neutral  Iveta Ivanova: sorry but didn't see in teh link you've provided anything leading to teh notion of game, nor the word game itself? Any other ref?

  -> the link doesn't click true! you need to have (game) in parentheses after the name to see it
agree  Nicole Johnson: w/battleship (singular) I think it can also be associated with the idea, not just the game by the same name.
