A political or social environment where one's survival and well-being depends upon one's ability to compete for resources essential to their survival and well-being, that are insufficient in that environment to ensure the survival and well-being of all who live in it.

Alexa, play "Africa" by Toto

The Hunger Games is a series of competitions mostly occuring during great droughts in Africa. When every little child gets a knife from their mommy and tucks it in their neighbours stomach.
When the season begins, the high priest yells "السيدات والسادة! دع الألعاب تبدأ!" and the games begin.
Carl: Did you hear that The Hunger Games began down in Africa last week?
Edwin: Yeah, fuck that let's go get McDonalds
Carl: YEET

When two people, who, by chance like each other, but can't commit themselves to a relationship straight away (maybe due to age difference, or other situations etc.) agree to play The Long Game, essentially saying "I'll wait for you".
"Look, I'm in it for The Long Game. I know you're always out there, and I know you are too."
