The originator of game theory, John von Neumann, famously told British mathematician Jacob Bronowski: 'Chess is not a game. Chess is a well-defined form of computation’.
“Chess is wonderfully cerebral, but it lacks any parallel with real life, where luck always plays a significant part. By mixing strategy and luck, backgammon is far more visceral.”
Visceral: based on deep feeling and emotional intuition.
Referring to the viscera, the soft internal organs of the body, specifically those within the chest (as the heart or lungs) or abdomen (as the liver, pancreas or intestines). In a figurative sense, something "visceral" is felt deep down, like "gut feelings."
