Abstract
The density and activity (defined as the average between the rate of f ertility and the rate of mortality) for all games similar to the ''gam e of life'' has been calculated after 1000 time steps in a 100 x 100 l attice. Mean-field arguments that describe some global features are pr esented. A morphological description for many games resembling shapes found in nature is given.
