Holidays are days off from the toiling drudgery of everyday life. Many holidays have games associated with them, but what about a holiday that's all about games?
Any kind of games will do: sports, card games, board games, hide-and-go-seek, video games, and gambling are all kinds of games! In addition, people play games for different reasons; some play physical games for health or fitness, some like the competition and the prize for winning, others play games to unwind, or just to have fun! Games are often used as ceremonies too, for everything from sending spirits peacefully to the afterlife, to appeasing angry gods, to invoking a blessing or curse!
