Do you need unity to play a unity game

so i am making a game and before i get to far into it i was wondering if you need unity to play a unity game and if you do is there a way that you don’t require unity to play the game.

Please Google your questions before posting, please.

No, you do not need to have Unity installed to play Standalone Unity games.
Unity is just like any other engine, it does not depend on any frameworks except for DirectX on occasion.

If you want to use the Unity WebPlayer, however, you do need to have the Unity WebPlugin installed. You may have noticed that Unity is pushing for the new WebGL framework to be built upon instead of their WebPlayer. WebGL does NOT require a plugin to be used, either.

No, players of your game will not need to install Unity.
