This is a really interesting - and I think, important - question although people ruling stuff out of bounds for AI do have a habit of becoming proven wrong - the classic recent example being Go. My assumption would be games or activities that are NOT heavily based in pattern finding, maths, statistics, categorising, memory etc. I think it is more useful perhaps to consider the motivation for game playing which is completely different (at present) for humans/animals compared to computers. We play because it is fun, or to bond, or to improve social status, make money, whatever. Computers play because that is what they are told to do.
