As the formal structure of the game, the game
system seems to lie somewhere in between
the gamespace and the gameworld. While
talk between players during group play in
the same physical space would be part of the
gamespace, this kind of communication is
not an actual part of the formal game system.
However, so-called external transdiegetic
features such as music signalling incom-
ing enemies, are clearly part of the game
system even though they are not part of the
gameworld.

course” (Random House Dictionary, 2009).
