I'm not sure where in the thread to share this, but my colleague @thergenrader.bsky.social and I just published a book that initially included a chapter about the exact issue you're targeting (scholars not using a shared definition for 'game'). It's been a hobbyhorse of mine for the last 15 years. 🥲
