Inserted link for further information on the game, if people need it. Attempted to clarify the description slightly.

Boxes doesn't happen to fall into that category, though I don't think that's intuitively obvious. In a sense, the question is "Can this game be viewed as a puzzle"; the answer is "Not in general; some situations might reasonably be viewed as puzzles [e.g. "In this situation, the next player has one guaranteed-winning move; find it."], though most are probably not very interesting. | |
