The New Games Movement was initiated by George Leonard and Stewart Brand in 1973. The main motto of the foundation was play hard, play fair, nobody hurt. Accordingly, it is not about the game itself, it is the way you play the game. If you've all played hard and enjoyed it, then you've all won.

The First New Games Tournament was held on two consecutive weekends in October 1973 in Gerbode Preserve. The Tournament attracted 6000 people. In the invitation, all tournament-goers were invited to bring their own new games. With the invite, everyone was encouraged to come up with reasonably weird games to challenge other people at the tournament. The tournament turned out to be a great success.
