fun
What games provide
Fun is enjoyment, amusement, or lighthearted pleasure: We had fun at the beach.
Something done for fun has no serious purpose.
A fun person or activity is enjoyable: She's really fun to be around.
To make fun of someone is to mock them.
To poke fun at is gentler teasing.
Fun and games can be genuine play or ironic understatement for something difficult.
