#EagerZebra: A #Game that Makes You Money (No Scam) at #StrongFutureInternationaL with @PhurbazD @GoTripleClicks (and Many Other #Games with Names You Wonder-about) | @Bing
Find out at the site linked through 'the main words' below; but first, I feel it's more important to understand that word better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The word “Games” is built on ancient words that mean "People Together" (the adjective #Game (meaning 'Ready for Action') is from "Spirited as a Game-|Cock"---Game-Cocks were |Birds that were Bred to Fight ... the adjective meaning ' |Lame' (one has a #GameLeg or a #GameHip etc.) might be built on |Gammy (tramp-slang for "Bad") or ancient words that mean "Leg" ( |Gambol).
(Also, meat that was |Hunted (rather than farm-bred) is said to taste #Gamey.)

I'm not sure why they call them all 'Eager #Zebra'-games (I'm guessing it's so they can call them "E.Z. games (for E.Z. money)." The grounds for Eager are linked above. The word "Zebra" is built on ancient words that mean " |Fierce, Wild Horse (|Equine)." #Zebras #Zebrine #Zebroid

- Lots of other games you've heard of and my search for their names' roots:
- #Yahtzee - They say it was invented to be played on a Yacht.
- #Poker - Theories say the name comes from a German game called Poch or Pochspiel based on a German word that means |Knock or Boast or |Brag.
- #Bridge - Theories say either a term related to Russian #Whist (alteration of |Whisk--on the notion of 'whisking up the cards after each trick'--possibly influenced by a word that means Silent) or Turkish words that mean "One-Three" (from the way Three other players will all play on the cards One player lays down)
- #TicTacToe - apparently it's the |imitation of the chalk |scratching an X & an O
- #Chess & #Checkers - from the Persian for King (with #Checkmate based on words that mean 'the King is Dead or -Astonished, & Checkers actually comes from the word for the Chessboard
- #Hopscotch - the Hop is obvious, and the #Scotch (not the drink, & no relation to Scotland) is an old term for a Score or |Notch (for the lines |Scratched in the ground for boxes of the game) | #ScotchHoppers #HopScot ... the expression #OutOfAllScotchAndNotch
- #Football #Soccer #Rugby - they all started with the original "Football" (short for 'association Football,' which was shortened to "Soc" and lengthened back to "Soccer." "Rugby" was the name of the school where a Soc-player picked up the ball and ran it across the goal line (the name is shortened from Rugby Football). American Football is a combination of those two European (or International) Footballs
- #Solitaire - described here
- and many more ... you know any or wonder about any specifically?
