A game easy to be made a part of other musical structures.
Insert games might be used to help produce or guide solos, to add as a new section to a song, or as a transition. An Insert Game can usually be inserted into any song that has an improvised section, but many of them can be played as stand-alone games.
They can be as simple as one mechanic or as complex as a whole playground of rules. They are also found in a lot of music throughout history, especially music that uses improvisation. Some improvisers know hundreds of them often referring to them as necessary tools-of-the-trade.
