Play the Game is a song by the band Queen. It is the first track on the first side of their 1980 album The Game. It commences with a series of overlapping rushing noises, heralding the band's acceptance of electronic instruments into their once explicitly "no synths" sonic lineup. They played it in their live shows from 1980 to 1982.
