# Gameplay Snook’s gameplay is inseparable from Snook’s economy. This is a key point. Unlike many other crypto/NFT-infused games, in Snook the act of playing is akin to the act of producing in traditional economies. Truth be told, there are games out there in which the play itself contributes to the economy. Nevertheless, in most cases this contribution is secondary to the main economic engine, i.e., trading and financial speculation. In Snook the role of gameplay is the economic engine, with the entire economy revolving around it. In order to keep things simple, we will use this section of the whitepaper to focus on **describing** the different facets of Snook’s gameplay and provide a lexicon of sorts. The next section, Economy & Gameplay, will use the foundation we lay here, to describe and explain the economy and its mechanics. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
