Player elimination occurs in multiplayer games, three or more, when one player can be eliminated from the game and the play can continue without them. One player could be defeated in Risk and play can continue until one army remains just as a player could go bankrupt in a game of Monopoly and play continues until one tycoon is left standing.

Player elimination doesn’t include two player games where the goal is to defeat your opponent. Chess doesn’t qualify as a player elimination game.
