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 means for meditation and thought, as background for an in-depth conversation, or as a relaxation technique. Designing a pointless game can in itself be an entertaining and relaxing activity.

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