 ''Games where the specifics of physical space that constitutes the gameplay space affects the gameplay.''
-In one sense all games require ''some'' space in the real world, even if it is through computers or other machines that enable them. However, a distinction can be made for games where players physically need to move their entire bodies to new locations in order to game. In these cases, the games can be said to have [[Real World Gameplay Spaces]] in which the gameplay takes place which either denies that space to other activities or lead to the two activities sharing the space. Similarly, games where the game elements moved are large enough to significantly interfere with other activities in the same space can be said to have [[Real World Gameplay Spaces]].
