SPORTS AND GAMES
Exercise is to the body what thought is for the mind. Our bodies need both intellectual and physical activity to thrive.
Most Unixplorians have a penchant for sports that challenge both mind and body. That is why games like archery are so popular among our people. Running is another activity we gladly devote ourselves to. Cardiovascular training is essential for everyone and also promotes concentration and discipline.
Playing a Game or Doing Sports?
Both games and sports involve activities or contests with specific rules that people do for enjoyment. However, while fun can be physical or mental, sports involve physical activities and competition between players or teams.
The distinction between a game and a sport can be subtle. A game is any mental or physical activity following entertainment rules. The latter can include physical activities like baseball and football, board games such as chess and Monopoly, card games, electronic games (like apps), or video games. In contrast, a sport is a specific physical activity that involves competition, such as baseball, football, field hockey, running, cycling, rock climbing, swimming, diving, race car driving, kayaking, or weightlifting.
POPULAR SPORTS AND GAMES
Chess
Chess is undoubtedly the sport of kings. The game is an exercise for the mind. It teaches both humility and tactical skills. The Unixplorian Chess Society honors this ancient game annually by organizing a national tournament. The winner's name is forever inscribed in the annals of Unixplorian chess.
Archery & Shooting
Archery and target practice are common pastimes among our citizens. Each year we celebrate our sharpshooters by holding a national convention where citizens of all ages can exchange information about their hobbies and browse new items to add to their collections.
Hiking & Outdoors
Nature is a sacred part of Unixploria, and exercising while enjoying the great outdoors is essential to the Unixplorian lifestyle. Unixplorians love to spend time out in the woods. Hiking, camping, enjoying wildlife, sleeping in a tent, or fishing are all enjoyed by our citizens.
