Being inspired by the methodology that Propp used for his classification of Russian fairy tales, we have cleared out recurrent diagrams within rules of videogames. We then analyzed these rules diagrams by using the definition of a game drawn by Salen & Zimmerman, which led us to propose a definition for the nature

In this article, we will study the nature of these bricks, es
