That a game is a Multiplayer Game is a necessary but not sufficient requirement for Social Skills to be present in a game design.
Many activities in games rely on Social Skills. Some, e.g. Bluffing, Guilting, require Social Skills while players may have advantages in others, e.g. Betting, Bidding, Trading and being Coaches, if they have good Social Skills, and displays of them are therefore likely to occur in these activities as well. Both Enactment and Roleplaying can be done in Single-Player Games, but performing them in Multiplayer Games typically requires Social Skills. Games with Social Roles often rely on Social Skills but negotiating which players should have which role can require Social Skills as well.
