A pointless game is a type of game which is designed to potentially last forever. This is usually achieved by making it impossible to win, or by looping the gameplay. Pointless games are created as a means for meditation and thought, background for in-depth conversation or a relaxation technique. Designing a pointless game can in itself be an entertaining and involved activity.

The concept was invented by Louigi Verona, based on his game of Yontel.
