<h1 id="games">Games</h1>
<p>
  The Minetest Engine runs games.
  Different <a href="http://wiki.minetest.net/Games">games</a> have different objectives –
  such as survival,  building, or player vs. player. Usually Minetest comes with
  <a href="https://github.com/minetest/minetest_game">Minetest Game</a>,
  which supplies the default items.
</p>
