Game as a transitive verb

[sasatav]

Hi everybody!

I would know if somebody may be so kind to confirm the meaning of this sentence that I red today in the Obama's statement at the Nobel's cerimony:

"But it's also incumbent upon all of us to insist that nations like Iran and North Korea do not game the system."

I guess the verb game means in here something like "trick", what do you think about??

Ciao e benvenuta al Forum!

Yes, in this context "game" means to try to find ways to circumvent the rules, to manipulate the system.

Ciao.
