Generally, mathematical games need not be conceptually intricate to involve deeper computational underpinnings.
[2][verification needed] When studying a game's core mathematics, arithmetic theory is generally of higher utility than actively playing or observing the game itself.
This is frequently done to determine winning strategies or to distinguish if the game has a solution.
[citation needed] Additionally, mathematical games can aid children in grasping fundamental concepts such as addition, subtraction, multiplication,[3] and division, enhancing their arithmetic skills in an engaging manner.
Often a card game is described as "pure strategy" and such, but a game with any sort of random shuffling or face-down dealing of cards should not be considered to be "no chance".
