Game

[AS.] Sport of any kind; animals kept variety or hunted for sport. In Europe game includes sometimes grouse, black game, pheasants, partridges, and hares, ptarmigans, quails and larger game as the moose and wild boar. In the United States game includes a great variety of animals. These are rarely kept in enclosures for sport, as Gar/ter. in Britain, but they are protected from indiscri¬ slipping minate slaughter by game laws, confining hunt¬ ers to fixed seasons and means of capture.
