This is what Vincent said previously:
"[T]he tools you have [in a game] make it possible for you to achieve your object, but not easy or certain. This is a key idea, the distance or tension between the object of the game and the tools it provides.
To my brain, it seems easier to say that a game gives you an "uncertain" goal, while a recipe gives you a "certain" goal.
