Returns a game the key owner may view (their own, one they participate in, a friend's, or a public game), including its config and current state. Send `If-None-Match` with the previous `ETag`, or `?since=<stateUpdatedAt>`, to get a `304` / `{ "unchanged": true }` while nothing has moved.

`GET /games/{id}`
