If you have a user, current_user for example, then his games will be
current_user.games. I think maybe you need to work through some
tutorials to get the basics of rails. railstutorial.org is good and
is free to use online. Work right through that (entering and testing
the code not just reading it) and you will get a good grasp of what
rails is all about. Make sure you install the correct version of
rails for the tutorial.
For more infomation on associations look at the Rails Guide on
ActiveRecord associations (also the other guides).
