schema.org/Game (was "Re: New schema.org release (sdo-venkman) candidate for review")

Looks great!  A note just on the description for:
http://sdo-venkman.appspot.com/Game

Which is:
"A role-playing game is a game in which players assume the roles of
characters in a fictional setting."

I think this description was carried over from an earlier context in which
this did describe a role-playing game specifically.  In any case, obviously
a more generic description is required (especially as Monopoly is used in
the code example - and while I do adopt the persona of Andrew Carnegie when
I play, it's not a role-playing game:).
