Taper_Mike: Do you know why this is singular? Why not call it an "unlimited games" session?

Michael Petch: I didn't ask Philippe the why, however the wording he used is consistent with XG in that regard, or so I thought?

Yeah, but this is one I always thought XG had wrong.

Here is Phil Simborg’s take on it (from the last paragraph): “In my help with the initial design of eXtremeGammon, I helped influence Xavier to use the term ‘unlimited games’ instead of money games, ...”

I think the use of singular is just one of those small errors of translation made in creating the English version of XG. The help system is dotted with many others.
