A game is a fantastic invention, literally creates a kind of world. Aiming at young people, the attractiveness of a system to perform this miracle warrants the title.

In reality, invention responds to a need and cannot be generally prescribed. Generate all numbers from 8 to infinity and there you have a representation of of all possible games. Playing them is another matter--so giving some impetus to God's own prototypes seems fitting.

Yes. Though the usual word for new games tends to be `create' rather than invent. I don't believe there's more than a linguistic significance to the choice here.

(Though you can `invent' new game mechanisms.)
