Here are some common games humans tend to play:

• The money game: become a something-onaire and chase the accumulation of money.
• The wealth and financial freedom game: do what you want to do anytime you want not because you have to or are obliged to.
• The success game: constantly attain higher and higher levels of superficial dopaminergic success activities.
• The knowledge game: acquire as much knowledge and education within a field of study.
• The power and influence game: climb the hierarchical ladder and become the chief lobster that gets to tell the other lobsters what to do.
• The impact game: impact and/or convert as many people as possible towards your cause.
