The article discusses the philosophical-anthropological aspects of the concepts of play and game that have become widely used in philosophy, game theory, moral theory. This concept was employed by ancient philosophers (stoics, Plato) and authors of modern theories (Huizinga, Bern). The notion of play is viewed as a metaphor and compared to specific games. Metaphorically, play pervades all areas of human life, personal relationships, professional activities, artistic creation. In this connection, the problem of delimiting play and life arises.
