/usr/games is also where Debian puts it's executable games, and game DATA goes in /usr/share/games/

It does this so that if your user doesn't have /usr/games in your path, then you can't load the games (well unless you use absolute paths) and they are also owned by the 'games' user group, so you'd need to be in that group to execute them. Well at least that's the general idea, but not all packages set this up correctly.

In essence, it's so admins can make it so other people can't play solitaire.
